+ <p>The &os; Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
+ dedicated to supporting and promoting the &os; Project
+ and community worldwide. Most of the funding is used to
+ support &os; development projects, conferences, and developer
+ summits, purchase equipment to grow and improve the &os;
+ infrastructure, and provide legal support for the Project.</p>
+
+ <p>We published our fourth issue of the FreeBSD Journal. We
+ have over 4500 subscriptions to date. Work continued on
+ adding support for the Dynamic Edition and will be available
+ soon. The fifth issue is due out soon.</p>
+
+ <p>Foundation staff member Konstantin Belousov wrapped up the
+ PostgreSQL performance investigation project. Kostik reran
+ the benchmarks as a configuration error may have affected
+ earlier results. Improvements arising from the investigation
+ are merged to the &os; 10 development branch and will be in
+ the 10.1 release. Kostik also committed a variety of virtual
+ memory and file system bug fixes and improvements.</p>
+
+ <p>Over the quarter, Foundation staff member Edward Napiera?a
+ refined the new autofs-based automounter and incorporated
+ feedback from testers in enterprise and university contexts.
+ The automounter is available in the development branch of
+ FreeBSD and will be included in FreeBSD 10.1. Edward also
+ supported engineers at Chelsio in preparing iSCSI offload
+ support for Chelsio's 10- and 40-gigabit per second Ethernet
+ adapters.</p>
+
+ <p>Ed Maste, our project manager, tested and integrated UEFI
+ system boot and new vt(4) console work into the release branch
+ for the upcoming FreeBSD 10.1 release. He committed a number
+ of small toolchain and build infrastructure improvements. He
+ also wrote an article on LLDB for the FreeBSD Journal and
+ presented the LLDB work at EuroBSDCon.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; Foundation Systems Administrator and Release Engineer
+ Glen Barber continued work on finalizing the 9.3-RELEASE
+ process, followed by starting the 10.1-RELEASE process.</p>
+
+ <p>Work has continued on producing regularly-updated &os;
+ development snapshot builds for the various supported
+ architectures, which include amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc,
+ powerpc64, sparc64, and arm.</p>
+
+ <p>In addition, work has been committed to a project branch
+ which allows &os; virtual machine disk images to be produced
+ by default as part of the release process.</p>
+
+ <p>Put a plan together for the upcoming Secure Boot work.</p>
+
+ <p>Purchased more hardware to support &os; infrastructure at NYI
+ and Sentex.</p>
+
+ <p>Announced a collaboration between Foundation and Cavium to
+ deliver a &os; ARMv8 based implementation.</p>
+
+ <p>Signed a license agreement with Oracle to get access to the
+ TCKs for Java 7 and 8.</p>
+
+ <p>Robert Watson ran and organized the Cambridge Developer
+ Summit. We provided a travel grant to a Google Summer of Code
+ student to attend the summit.</p>
+
+ <p>Provided a travel grant to a developer who organized and ran
+ BSDDay in Argentina.</p>
+
+ <p>We were a Gold Sponsor for EuroBSDCon 2014 and sponsored the
+ Developer Summit. We provided 4 travel grants to assist &os;
+ contributors with their travel expenses to attend the
+ conference. We also had 6 board/staff members attend the
+ conference and some gave talks, tutorials, and chaired some
+ sessions. We held our Fall Fundraising campaign there and
+ raised over $2,000 in donations from attendees.</p>
+
+ <p>Organized the Silicon Valley Vendor/Developer Summit that is
+ happening November 3 and 4.</p>
+
+ <p>Kirk McKusick, Robert Watson, and George Neville-Neil
+ published the second edition of "The Design and Implementation
+ of the FreeBSD Operating System."</p>
+
+ <p>Kirk McKusick presented a 2-day tutorial on the &os; kernel
+ and gave a talk on implementation of ZFS at EuroBSDCon.</p>
+
+ <p>Dru Lavigne attended Fossetcon: September 11-13
+ (fossetcon.org).</p>
+
+ <p>We created new recruiting fliers for upcoming events,
+ including the Grace Hopper conference.</p>
+
+ <p>Started sending out Foundation monthly update emails to keep
+ the &os; community informed on some of the activities we did
+ the previous month to support &os;.</p>
