<title>Official support for NVIDIA graphics cards on amd64
architecture</title>
<p>The NVIDIA Corporation releases an initial BETA version of
NVIDIA 195.22 &os; graphics drivers for both i386 and amd64
architectures. The drivers support recent versions of the
&os; operating system, i.e. 7.2-STABLE and 8.0-RELEASE and
provide support for features like SLI, improved
compatibility and performance, especially on systems with
4GB or more of RAM. This marks the first driver release for
amd64, as it was previously available only for i386
architecture. Please see the original <a
href="http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142120">announcement</a>

<title>Portmgr reorganization</title>
<p>Portmgr is happy to announce that two new members will
join the team.</p>
<p>Martin Wilke has been one of our most active committers
since receiving his commit bit today 3 years ago. He has
been working in a number of subgroups including python,
ports-security and the KDE team.</p>
<p>Ion-Mihai Tetcu has been interested in regression testing
and qualitiy assurance, creating QAT automated tinderbox
testing of all port commits on a per-commit basis, and adding
on-the-fly feedback to the snapshot builds from the pointyhat
package cluster.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we will also be saying goodbye to Kirill
Ponomarew, who hasn't had much time to spend on FreeBSD and
will be stepping down from portmgr.</p>
<p>We thank Kirill for all his contributions in the past and
wish Martin and Ion-Mihai the best of luck with the new tasks
bestowed upon them.</p>

<title>Google Summer of Code Projects Announced</title>
<p>The FreeBSD Project again received many high quality
applications from students participating
in <a href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's Summer of
Code</a> program. This year 20 student proposals were
accepted to work with the FreeBSD Project as part of this
program. For those with projects that were not accepted
this year, we'd like to note that the FreeBSD Project is
always willing to help mentor students so they can learn
more about operating system development through our normal
community mailing lists and development forums.</p>

<title>Official support for NVIDIA graphics cards on amd64
architecture</title>
<p>The NVIDIA Corporation releases an initial BETA version of
NVIDIA 195.22 &os; graphics drivers for both i386 and amd64
architectures. The drivers support recent versions of the
&os; operating system, i.e. 7.2-STABLE and 8.0-RELEASE and
provide support for features like SLI, improved
compatibility and performance, especially on systems with
4GB or more of RAM. This marks the first driver release for
amd64, as it was previously available only for i386
architecture. Please see the original <a

<title>Portmgr reorganization</title>
<p>Portmgr is happy to announce that two new members will
join the team.</p>
<p>Martin Wilke has been one of our most active committers
since receiving his commit bit today 3 years ago. He has
been working in a number of subgroups including python,
ports-security and the KDE team.</p>
<p>Ion-Mihai Tetcu has been interested in regression testing
and qualitiy assurance, creating QAT automated tinderbox
testing of all port commits on a per-commit basis, and adding
on-the-fly feedback to the snapshot builds from the pointyhat
package cluster.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we will also be saying goodbye to Kirill
Ponomarew, who hasn't had much time to spend on FreeBSD and
will be stepping down from portmgr.</p>
<p>We thank Kirill for all his contributions in the past and
wish Martin and Ion-Mihai the best of luck with the new tasks
bestowed upon them.</p>

<title>Google Summer of Code Projects Announced</title>
<p>The FreeBSD Project again received many high quality
applications from students participating
in <a href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's Summer of
Code</a> program. This year 20 student proposals were
accepted to work with the FreeBSD Project as part of this
program. For those with projects that were not accepted
this year, we'd like to note that the FreeBSD Project is
always willing to help mentor students so they can learn
more about operating system development through our normal
community mailing lists and development forums.</p>
