The highlight of Core's second quarter has been the + regular biennial election of a new Core team. Core would like + to thank Dag-Erling Smøgrav and Glen Barber for running + the vote. Despite an initially slow uptake on nominations, + fourteen candidates eventually stood, including four incumbent + members of core. The ninth &os; Core team will be:

The new Core Team would like to thank the departing members + for their many years of service. Members stepping down + are:

The second most notable achievement this quarter was the + successful conclusion of an issue that had been on Core's + agenda for many years. With the creation of planet.freebsd.org, + the &os; Project finally has an official blog aggregation + service.

+ +

Core spent a significant amount of time reviewing licensing + and ensuring that the &os; source remains unencumbered by + onerous license terms. This quarter involved approving Adrian + Chadd's plan to import GPLv2 licensed code, allowing + bwn(4) to be built as a loadable module with support + for 802.11n networking. This required confirmation that the + license terms on the latest dummynet AQM patches were + acceptable and that its variant on the BSD 2-clause license is + suitable for use in the &os; base system.

+ +

Core applied for, and received, a project-wide license for + the use of the JetBrains static analysis tool suite, at the + behest of Mathieu Previot.

+ +

Another of Core's important functions is to ensure good + relations amongst developers. To that end, members of Core + provided oversight over the backing-out of disputed + blacklistd related patches to OpenSSH, and acted to + smooth over ruffled tempers.

+ +

This quarter saw the usual quota of gentle reminders to avoid + intemperate language and other counter-productive behavior. + Core had to take immediate action about death threats + appearing on some of the mailing lists. The culprit was + immediately banned from the mailing lists and reported to + their email service provider. That person will be similarly + removed should they be identified as having rejoined under a + different alias.

+ +

Other activities included:

+ + + +

During this quarter, four new commit bits were awarded and + none were taken in. Please welcome Emmanuel Vadot, Landon + Fuller, Mike Karels, and Eric Badger as new src committers. + Yes, that is the same Mike Karels who was once a member of the + CSRG at Berkeley and co-author of The Design and + Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System.
