<title>Ports CVS End of Life on February 28th 2013</title>
<p>The development of &os; ports is done in Subversion
nowadays. By February 28th 2013, the &os; ports tree will
no longer be exported to CVS. Therefore ports tree updates
via CVS, CVSup or csup(1) will no longer be available after
that date. All users who use CVS, CVSup or csup(1) to
update the ports tree are encouraged to switch to
portsnap(8) or for users which need more control over their
ports collection checkout, use Subversion directly. More
information are available in the announcement mail on the <a
href="&lists.ports-announce;/2012-September/000026.html">&os;&nbsp;ports announce mailing list</a>.</p>
<p>A migration guide from CVSup or csup(1) to portsnap(8) is
also available in <a
href="&url.doc.base-en;/books/handbook/ports-using.html#cvsup-migration">the &os; Handbook</a>.</p>

<title>Security Incident on FreeBSD Infrastructure</title>
<p>On Sunday 11th of November, an intrusion was detected on
two machines within the FreeBSD.org cluster. We have found
no evidence of any modifications that would put any end user
at risk. However, we do urge all users to read the report
available at <a href="/news/2012-compromise.html">
http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html</a> and
decide on any required actions themselves.</p>

<title>New &os; Core Team elected</title>
<p>The &os; Project is pleased to announce the completion of
the 2012 Core Team election. The &os; Core Team acts as the
project's "board of directors" and is responsible for
approving new src committers, resolving disputes between
developers, appointing sub-committees for specific purposes
(security officer, release engineering, port managers,
webmaster, etc ...), and making any other administrative
or policy decisions as needed. The Core Team has been
elected by &os; developers every two years since 2000.</p>
<p>More information about the election (together with a list
of the new members of the Core Team) can be found in the
official <a

systems. Alternatively, users upgrading existing systems may
now do so using the freebsd-update(8) utility.</p>

<p>The second RC build for the &os;-9.0 release cycle is now
available. ISO images for the architectures amd64, i386,
ia64, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 are <a

systems. Alternatively, users upgrading existing systems may
now do so using the freebsd-update(8) utility.</p>

Code 2011</title>
<p>The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation
In Google's 2011 Summer of Code program, which funds summer
students to participate in open source projects.
This will be the FreeBSD Project's seventh year in the program,

through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation.</p>
<p>Prospective participants are invited to apply; more information
is available, including proposal and deadline information, on the
<a href="&enbase;/projects/summerofcode.html">FreeBSD Summer

<title>Google Summer of Code Projects started</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 18 student proposals to work
with the FreeBSD Project were accepted 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>
<p>Please read the official <a
href="http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20100526034329.GA40980">announcement</a>
for more information. The complete list of student projects
selected for funding can be found in the FreeBSD <a
href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2010Projects">Summer
of Code wiki</a>. Coding started on May 24, so please join
us in welcoming the 18 new students to our community.</p>
