+      <p>Reproducible builds are a set of software development
+	practices which create a verifiable path from human readable
+	source code to the binary code used by computers.  A build is
+	reproducible if given the same source code, build environment
+	and build instructions, any party can recreate bit-by-bit
+	identical copies of all specified artifacts.</p>
+
+      <p>Baptiste Daroussin and Ed Maste attended the second
+	Reproducible Builds Summit last December, in Berin.  We
+	discussed issues of common interest to operating system
+	providers, including other BSDs and Linux distributions.</p>
+
+      <p>Following the summit, changes were committed to the &os;
+	base system to address outstanding sources of
+	non-reproducibility.  It is now possible to build the &os;
+	base system (kernel and userland) completely reproducibly,
+	although it currently requires a few non-default settings.</p>
+
+      <p>Approximately 80% of the ports tree builds reproducibly,
+	with a few work in progress patches.  Now that the base system
+	can be built reproducibly, focus will move to the ports
+	tree.</p>
