+      <p>Overall, the members of the graphics team were lacking spare
+	time during this quarter.  Thus, only few things could be
+	improved.</p>
+
+      <p>Our ports development tree still holds an update to Mesa 10.6
+	(it was 10.5 in the previous quarterly report) along with many
+	cleanups and bugfixes.  Initially, we planned to commit it in
+	early July, just after FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE EOL, but this EOL
+	was delayed to the 31st of July.  Therefore, we will send a
+	Call For Testers near the end of July so the update can be
+	committed in early August.  Of course, the update can still be
+	obtained and tested directly from the Ports development tree
+	by using the <tt>mesa-next</tt> branch.</p>
+
+      <p>Several smaller updates to X.Org-related ports were committed
+	to the Ports tree.</p>
+
+      <p>The work on the i915 kernel driver update made no progress
+	during this quarter due to the lack of free time.
+	Fortunately, it can resume in Q3 with the hope to have
+	something ready to test in September 2015.</p>
+
+      <p>The update to the DRM device-independent code was merged to
+	<tt>stable/10</tt>.  This means it will be available in the
+	upcoming &os;&nbsp;10.2-RELEASE.</p>
+
+      <p>Recently, the website hosting our blog has been down
+	frequently.  It is again the case at the time of this
+	writing).  We could export the data the last time it was up,
+	so we will probably move to another system.  Of course, the
+	URL will change as well.</p>
