+ <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>January began with members of core dealing with the fallout
+ from the accidental deletion of the Bugzilla database. This
+ incident highlighted the fact that backup and recovery mechanisms
+ in the cluster were not up to the task. Core has discussed what
+ measures are appropriate with clusteradm and is reviewing their
+ implementation.</p>
+
+ <p>After a long process of consultation, plans for introducing the
+ new support model with 11.0-RELEASE were finally agreed on and
+ published in early February. This announcement puts the practical
+ detail onto the motion that was adopted at BSDCan 2014, and
+ clarifies the steps needed for implementation.</p>
+
+ <p>Also in February core revisited discussions on making the
+ blogs.freebsdish.org blog aggregator an official project service
+ and also providing a blogging platform directly to developers.
+ However, security and man-power are both major concerns. Given
+ the track records of most freely available blogging platforms,
+ core is rightly wary of introducing them into the cluster.
+ Similarly, curating a bloging platform will take a substantial
+ volunteer effort to ensure all posts are appropriate and to remove
+ spam.</p>
+
+ <p>March has seen two discussions about potentially divisive
+ topics. Should the ZFS ARC Responsiveness patches be committed
+ and MFC'd as a pragmatic fix to performance problems in
+ 10.1-RELEASE, understanding that this is not an ideal solution to
+ the problem and will need rework? Should we stop maintaining
+ support for older (C89 or earlier) compilers in kernel code, and
+ just code directly to the C11 standard? Broadening out from this
+ last point: should we have a formal mechanism for deciding what
+ has become obsolete in the system and when it should be
+ removed?</p>
+
+ <p>During this quarter five new src commit bits were granted and
+ two were taken in for safe-keeping.</p>
