<p>This report covers &os;-related projects between April and <p>The second quarter of 2015, from April to June, was another
June 2015. This is the second of four reports planned for period of busy activity for &os;. This report is the largest we
2015.</p> have published so far.</p>
<p>Another productive quarter for the &os; project and community <p>The cluster and release engineering teams continued to improve
has passed. BSDCan was held in Ottawa in June, and both it and the structure that supports &os; building, maintenance, and
the preceding Developer Summit allowed developers to plan for installability. Projects ran the gamut from security and speed
the future and discover what others have already improvements to virtualization and storage appliances. New
accomplished.</p> 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 <p>The number and detail of these reports really gives only a tiny
to September 2015 is October 1, 2015.</p> 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>
