+ <p>The biggest task handled by the Core Team during this quarter
+ was developing and publishing the new Code of Conduct. The Code
+ of Conduct describes how people are expected to behave on all &os;
+ official communication channels, as well as how developers and other
+ people involved with the project are to behave when representing the
+ project in public.</p>
+
+ <p>The Code of Conduct was generally well received and elicited
+ numerous comments and suggestions for improvements from the
+ community, many of which have been integrated.</p>
+
+ <p>The next task handled by Core was the restoration of Babak
+ Farrokhi's ports commit bit. Babak is an Iranian resident and
+ consequently had run afoul of US trade sanctions, which the
+ project had initially been advised would make it illegal
+ for him to contribute. After several years, Core was asked to
+ revisit the issue. On the advice of counsel, Core decided that
+ it could restore commit privileges to commmitters resident in
+ Iran.</p>
+
+ <p>The CTM service came under security review. Given that the lack of
+ use of routine authenticity checking made the injection of
+ trivial exploit code relatively easy, the service was held to be
+ too risky to continue as an official part of the &os; base system.
+ CTM has very few remaining users but they should be able to
+ install CTM from the Ports Collection in order to continue doing
+ so.</p>
+
+ <p>Core learned that ISC was ceasing its hosting service, which has
+ entailed a rapid rework of plans on the movement of significant
+ portions of the &os; cluster to that datacentre. Cluster
+ administration has taken ownership of the situation and is making
+ progress.</p>
+
+ <p>Core fielded an enquiry about NextBSD and whether this
+ should be the future direction for the whole &os; project. Core's
+ position is that NextBSD is an interesting project, and we regard
+ it, like the other BSD projects, as a potential source of good
+ ideas. However, we currently have no plans to adopt NextBSD as
+ the official &os; distribution.</p>
+
+ <p>Beyond these issues, Core also spent time in various routine
+ activities. During this quarter we issued three new
+ src commit bits, and took none in for safekeeping. Welcome to
+ &a.allanjude;, &a.aurajo;, and &a.avos;.
