<p>During the first quarter of 2016, the most important business
of the &os; Core Team has been to respond to the harassment
incident last year. Core's actions were to assemble a
timeline of the events and in the light of that to review
Core's actions at the time; and to make recommendations about
how better to handle such cases in future. During this
process, draft reports were reviewed by people concerned in
the case and in addition a number of interested members of the
&os; community. Core would like to thank everyone involved
for their contributions.</p>
<p>The report was published to the &os; developer community in
mid-February, and contained six recommendations for the
community to consider.</p>
<p>Core is also coordinating with the committee headed by Anne
Dickinson who are reviewing the Code of Conduct. A corpus of
case studies is being assembled, which will be re-examined to
see what impact changes to the Code of Conduct would have
had.</p>
<p>Core, together with John Baldwin, are working on a plan to
create a separate repository containing GPLv3 toolchain
components. This will allow modernization of code within base
beyond what the existing GPLv2 toolchain can handle, and
permit support of certain new architectures where a copyfree
licensed alternative (i.e., LLVM) is not yet available. A
position paper will soon be circulated to developers for
comment.</p>
<p>During this quarter three new commit bits were issued, and
one was returned for safekeeping. Please welcome Wojciech
Macek, Jared McNeil and Stanislav Galabov, and bid farewell to
Davide Italiano, who although too busy to work on FreeBSD
directly, will still be contributing through his work upstream
on lld and other parts of the toolchain.</p>
