<p>This report covers &os;-related projects between April and
|
||||
June 2015. This is the second of four reports planned for
|
||||
2015.</p>
|
||||
<p>The second quarter of 2015, from April to June, was another
|
||||
period of busy activity for &os;. This report is the largest we
|
||||
have published so far.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Another productive quarter for the &os; project and community
|
||||
has passed. BSDCan was held in Ottawa in June, and both it and
|
||||
the preceding Developer Summit allowed developers to plan for
|
||||
the future and discover what others have already
|
||||
accomplished.</p>
|
||||
<p>The cluster and release engineering teams continued to improve
|
||||
the structure that supports &os; building, maintenance, and
|
||||
installability. Projects ran the gamut from security and speed
|
||||
improvements to virtualization and storage appliances. New
|
||||
kernel drivers and capabilities were added, while work to make
|
||||
&os; run on various ARM architectures continued at a rapid pace.
|
||||
The Ports Collection grew, even while adding capabilities and
|
||||
fixing problems. Outside projects like <tt>pkgsrc</tt> have
|
||||
become interested in adding support. Documentation was a major
|
||||
focus, one that is often complimented by people new to &os;.
|
||||
BSDCan 2015 was a great success, turning many hours of sleep
|
||||
deprivation into an even greater amount of inspiration.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work!</p>
|
||||
<p>As always, a great deal of this activity was directly sponsored
|
||||
by the Foundation. The project's status as a first-class
|
||||
operating system owes a great deal to the Foundation's past and
|
||||
ongoing work.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The deadline for submissions covering the period from July
|
||||
to September 2015 is October 1, 2015.</p>
|
||||
<p>The number and detail of these reports really gives only a tiny
|
||||
glimpse of all that is happening. A huge portion of &os;
|
||||
development takes place all the time, including bug fixes,
|
||||
feature improvements, rewrites, and imports of new code. This
|
||||
ongoing work is difficult, time-consuming, and, far too often,
|
||||
unrecognized. We should take a moment to consider and thank
|
||||
not just the contributors listed here, but also the end users,
|
||||
bug submitters, port maintainers, coders, security analysts,
|
||||
infrastructure defenders, tinkerers, scientists, designers,
|
||||
questioners, answerers, rule makers, testers, documenters,
|
||||
sysadmins, dogmatists, iconoclasts, and crazed geniuses who make
|
||||
&os; such an effective and useful operating system. If you are
|
||||
reading this, you are one of these people, too. Thank you.</p>
