## 16. 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:

Free 4-CD and DVD Sets

  FreeBSD committers can get a free 4-CD or DVD set at conferences from FreeBSD Mall, Inc.. The sets are no longer available as a subscription due to the high shipment costs to countries outside the USA.

Freenode IRC Cloaks

  FreeBSD developers may request a cloaked hostmask for their account on the Freenode IRC network in the form of `freebsd/developer/``freefall name` or `freebsd/developer/``NickServ name`. To request a cloak, send an email to Eitan Adler `<eadler@FreeBSD.org>` with your requested hostmask and NickServ account name.
