<?ignore
<p>This report covers &os;-related projects between July and
September 2016. This is the third of four reports planned for
2016.</p>
<p>As focused as we are on the present and what is happening
now, it is sometimes useful to take a reminder at where we have
come from, and where we are going. This quarter, we had our
newest doc committer working to trace through the tangled
history of many utilities, and we also get a glimpse looking
forward at what may come in &os; 12.</p>
<p>The third quarter of 2016 was another productive quarter for
the &os; project and community. [...]</p>
<p>Though 11.0-RELEASE was not finalized until after the period
covered in this report, we can still have some anticipatory
excitement for the features that will be coming in 12.0. The
possibilities are tantalizing: a base system with no GPL
components, arm64 as a Tier-1 architecture, capsicum protection
for common utilities, and the CloudABI for custom software are
just a few.</p>
<p>Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work!</p>
<p>The work of the present is no less exciting, with 11.0
making its way out just after the end of Q3, the new core
coming into its own, and much more that you'll have to read
to find out.</p>
<p>The deadline for submissions covering the period from October
to December 2016 is January 7, 2016.</p>
