September 2014. This is the third of four reports planned for
2014.</p>
<p>The third quarter of 2014 was another productive quarter for the
FreeBSD project. A lot of work has been done on various ARM
platforms, with the goal of bringing them to Tier 1 status in &os;

state of &os; as a desktop operating system. As usual,
performance improvements feature in several places in this report
and many of these can benefit from user benchmarking to validate
our results.</p>
