+ <p>The &os; Core Team constitutes the project's "Board of
+ Directors", responsible for deciding the project's overall goals
+ and direction as well as managing specific areas of the &os;
+ project landscape.</p>
+
+ <p>During the fourth quarter of 2014, the &os; Core team saw the
+ culmination of a long-running project to rebuild the &os;
+ Forums. The chosen solution was to license XenForo; core would
+ like to thank the FreeBSD Foundation for paying the licensing
+ costs of this software.</p>
+
+ <p>Much discussion ensued concerning the "New Support Model"
+ following Core's meeting at EuroBSDCon in September. It was
+ recognised that trying to change the model immediately before
+ 10.1-RELEASE was far too late, and the change will be targeted
+ at 11.0-RELEASE.</p>
+
+ <p>In order to ensure that 10.1-RELEASE shipped with support for
+ up-to-date X Windows and KDE4, core approved the switch to 'new
+ Xorg' as the default in time for building the packages for that
+ release.</p>
+
+ <p>Git was officially promoted from beta to an officially
+ supported version control system. Git is available as a
+ read-only resource for downstream consumers and contains an
+ exported copy from SVN, the primary and only read-write
+ repository. The &os; git repositories (exported from the
+ master SVN version control) will shortly be available at
+ https://git.freebsd.org/, and core has been active
+ in ensuring that there is a sufficient body of Git
+ administrators available with access to appropriate
+ documentation in order to maintain a good git service.</p>
+
+ <p>Core mediated in disputes between a number of committers over
+ some updates to system sources, and fielded complaints about
+ code quality of some other work in critical areas.
+ While such disagreements will occasionally occur, core is
+ promoting the routine use of the phabricator service in order to
+ review work before committal. Catching problems early is in the
+ project's best interests, and discussion of changes in an open
+ review context should minimize confrontational demands for
+ immediate back-out of changes.</p>
+
+ <p>Core is working on a charter for a proposed new QA team, to
+ encompass members of the Release Engineering and Security teams,
+ as well as committers with interests in standards compliance.
+ It is envisioned that the QA team will take responsibility for
+ merging code from HEAD into the STABLE branches, run integration
+ testing against those updates and handle merging patches and
+ bug-fixes submitted to the &os; project from third parties.</p>
+
+ <p>During this quarter, core issued two new commit bits, and also
+ took two commit bits into safe-keeping.</p>
