13 Perks of the Job

Unfortunately, there are not many perks involved with being a committer. Recognition as a competent software engineer is probably the only thing that will be of benefit in the long run. However, there are at least some perks:

Direct access to cvsup-master

As a committer, you may apply to Jun Kuriyama for direct access to cvsup-master.FreeBSD.org, providing the public key output from cvpasswd yourusername@FreeBSD.org freefall.FreeBSD.org. Please note: you must specify freefall.FreeBSD.org on the cvpasswd command line even though the actual server is cvsup-master. Access to cvsup-master should not be overused as it is a busy machine.

A Free 4-CD Set or DVD Subscription

FreeBSD Mall, Inc. offers a free subscription of the 4-CD set or the DVD product to all FreeBSD committers. Information about how to obtain your free media is mailed to following each major release.

This, and other documents, can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/.
