# 基金会来信

* 原文：[Letter from the Foundation](https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/MarApril_foundation_letter.pdf)
* 作者：**Deb Goodkin**

亲爱的读者们：

欢迎阅读《FreeBSD 期刊》3/4 月刊！我一直在算，自 2014 年 1 月创刊号以来我们一共出版了多少期。我相信这是第 56 期，涵盖了 FreeBSD 世界中许多不同主题的实用与信息丰富的内容。这些年来，我们能围绕如此多不同领域做出这么多期内容，恰恰说明 FreeBSD 的复杂、强大与创新。

本期聚焦一个我格外钟情的话题——嵌入式系统。我最早是嵌入式系统工程师，给存储设备公司写固件，自我入行以来，这项技术已经成长和进步了许多。一块存储设备能容纳的信息量让我瞠目结舌！越来越多的设备正在变得“嵌入式”，构成更小的系统，而 FreeBSD 在这些产品中扮演着重要角色。从体育场的显示系统到酷炫的电子游戏机，FreeBSD 都在背后掌控着这些系统。

请坐稳，翻看后面几页的文章和专栏！像往常一样，你也会找到即将举办的 BSD 相关活动信息——希望能在 5 月渥太华的 BSDCan 上见到许多读者！

哦，我还有一个小小的请求。如果你从已出版的 56 期中的一些或全部里有所享受、有所收获，请考虑向 FreeBSD 基金会捐赠，以便继续资助《FreeBSD 期刊》和其他项目。谢谢！

**Deb Goodkin**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://freebsd-journal-cn.bsdcn.org/20230304-qian-ru-shi/letter-from-the-foundation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
