I do a lot of testing and patches regarding components we use. Search the PRs. I maintain several ports. I built freebsd package management into cfengine, and greatly extended the package management functionality above and beyond to support every operation freebsd can take on a package. We host numerous freebsd developers in our facility for nearly nothing. We pay for development of features that we need but don't have the appropriate skills to fix ourselves. We sponsor freebsd promotional activity, like the MeetBSD conference coming up this November.

In short, we support FreeBSD in every way that I am aware of there is to support it.
