+    <p>This quarter's &os; developments continue to provide
+      excitement and promise for further developments.  I myself
+      have a soft spot for manual pages, so it is especially good to
+      see that we have gained some documentation for writing them
+      (and I hope that this will translate to more and improved
+      manual pages in the future!).  The core@ entry is also of
+      particular note, with the introduction of the FCP process and
+      the recognition of the first non-committer &os; Project Member
+      (and more).  Read on to find out more about these, as well as
+      improved support for the AMD Zen family of processors (e.g.,
+      Ryzen), and a whole lot more!</p>
