+ <body>
+ <p>The Acer C720 Chromebook is an affordable (under $200) and
+ powerful little laptop, that provides a battery life of up to six
+ hours running FreeBSD. It is a great machine for travelling and
+ coding in general. The machine is fully functional, meaning that
+ all essential devices work: Keyboard, trackpad, light sensor,
+ backlight control, display in VESA mode (fast), external Display
+ on HDMI (only VESA mirror mode), sound, USB ports, SD card slot,
+ camera and Atheros Wireless.</p>
+
+ <p>This quarter, this project extended previous work on the
+ boot process and keyboard driver as well as the smbus(4) driver.
+ It added three new drivers: ig4(4), cyapa(4) and isl(4).</p>
+
+ <p>Much of the development was originally done in late 2014;
+ since then, the patches have been massively improved and merged
+ into CURRENT, so that all relevant devices work without manual
+ patching.</p>
+
+ <p>For those who are unable to run CURRENT, there is a
+ backported patch to 10.2-RELEASE.</p>
+
+ <p>Thanks to everyone who helped in the process, I couldn't
+ have done it without you (you know who you are).
