246	Like D34092, I think we need to avoid making the 'The' article part of the link.

Here's text from the Foundation's "Impact Report" that you could use:

The FreeBSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3), US based, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the FreeBSD Project and community worldwide.
The Foundation funds software development via project grants and provides staff to immediately respond to urgent problems and implement new features and functionality.
The Foundation purchases hardware to improve and maintain FreeBSD infrastructure, and funds staffing to improve test coverage, continuous integration and automation.
The Foundation advocates for FreeBSD by promoting FreeBSD at technical conferences and events around the world. The Foundation also provides workshops, educational material, and presentations to recruit more users and contributors to FreeBSD.
The Foundation also represents the FreeBSD Project in executing contracts, license agreements, and other legal arrangements that require a recognized legal entity.

Should be "US-based", both here and in that report.

247	See https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/asciidoctor-primer/#asciidoctor-links
256	Unless the expansion of {freebsd-hackers} includes "list" or "mailing list", that should be added while touching this.

256	There's quite a few occurrences of missing "link:" throughout this document; let's split off those mechanical changes into https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34100.
