<title>New &os; Core Team elected</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The &os; Project is pleased to announce the conclusion
|
|
of our fourth consecutive democratic election of project
|
|
leadership. The &os; Core Team constitutes the
|
|
project's "Board of Directors" and is responsible for
|
|
vetting new src committers, arbitrating technical
|
|
disagreements, weighing in on policy and administrative
|
|
issues, and appointing sub-committees for handling
|
|
specific duties (security officer, release engineers, port
|
|
managers, webmasters, etc..). The core team has been
|
|
democratically elected every 2 years by active &os;
|
|
committers since 2000.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Peter Wemm is rejoining the team after a 2 year hiatus,
|
|
and Kris Kennaway is joining the team for the first time.
|
|
The remaining 7 slots were filled with incumbents Wilko
|
|
Bulte, Brooks Davis, Giorgos Keramidas, George
|
|
V. Neville-Neil, Hiroki Sato, Murray Stokely, and Robert
|
|
Watson.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The new core team would like to especially thank outgoing
|
|
members Wes Peters and Warner Losh for their many years of
|
|
service to &os;, our electioneer Dr. Josef Karthauser
|
|
for running another election for us, and our returning
|
|
core secretary Philip Paeps.</p>

<title>FreeBSD begins switch to Subversion</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Project has begun the switch of its source code
|
|
management system from CVS to <a
|
|
href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">Subversion</a>. At this
|
|
point in time, FreeBSD's developers are making changes to the
|
|
base system in the Subversion repository. We have a replication
|
|
system in place that exports our work to the legacy CVS tree on
|
|
a continuous basis.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>People who are using our extensive CVS based distribution
|
|
network (including anoncvs, CVSup, cvsweb, ftp) will not be
|
|
interrupted by our work-in-progress. We are committed to
|
|
maintaining the existing CVS based distribution system for
|
|
at least the support lifetime of all existing "stable"
|
|
branches. Security and errata patches will continue to be made
|
|
available in their usual CVS locations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We expect to make our Subversion based source tree and other
|
|
supporting infrastructure public soon. There will be new
|
|
mailing lists to subscribe to if you wish to receive Subversion
|
|
commit notifications.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Our ports, doc and www trees are not affected at this time. A
|
|
separate decision will be made regarding those CVS repositories
|
|
soon.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many people have contributed to the effort, but we wish
|
|
to thank Michael Haggerty and the <a
|
|
href="http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/">cvs2svn</a> project developers
|
|
for their assistance with cvs2svn. <a
|
|
href="mailto:peter@FreeBSD.org">Peter Wemm</a> spent several weeks
|
|
of <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!'s</a> time repairing
|
|
the CVS tree, preparing for and performing the conversion, and
|
|
the configuration of the Subversion infrastructure. Yahoo!
|
|
donated the server hardware.</p>

<title>Funded Summer of Code Projects Announced</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Project received over 100 applications for <a
|
|
href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's
|
|
Summer of Code</a> program, amongst which 21 were selected
|
|
for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate
|
|
applications than available spots for students. However,
|
|
we encourage students to work together with us all year
|
|
round. The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help
|
|
mentor students learn more about operating system
|
|
development through our normal community mailing lists and
|
|
development forums. Contributing to an open source
|
|
software project is a valuable component of a computer
|
|
science education and great preparation for a career in
|
|
software development.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A complete list of the winning students and projects is
|
|
available <a
|
|
href="http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode-2008.html">here</a>.
|
|
A <a
|
|
href="http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/SummerOfCode2008">Summer of
|
|
Code wiki</a> has been created and additional information
|
|
about the projects will be added there soon.</p>

<title>End-of-Year Fund Raising Drive</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://www.freebsdfoundation.org">FreeBSD
|
|
Foundation</a> has announced an End-of-Year Fund Raising
|
|
Drive. The goal this year is to raise over $250,000.
|
|
This money is used for sponsoring FreeBSD related conferences,
|
|
providing travel grants to developers to attend these conferences,
|
|
providing grants for projects that improve FreeBSD, and
|
|
providing legal support on issues like understanding
|
|
the GPLv3 impact on FreeBSD, trademarks, and other legal
|
|
issues that come up.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Donations can be made online from <a

<title>Xorg 7.2 imported into the ports collection.</title>
|
|
<p>Thanks to the hard work of
|
|
<a href="mailto:flz@FreeBSD.org">Florent Thoumie</a> (and
|
|
others), the FreeBSD ports collection now uses the modular
|
|
Xorg 7.2 as its default X server. i386 and AMD64 6.2-STABLE
|
|
packages are available and other architectures/releases
|
|
will be available later, or you can compile it from
|
|
source. In both cases, see <a
|
|
href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/UPDATING?rev=1.504;content-type=text%2Fplain">
|
|
the 20070519 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING</a> on how to upgrade. Please track <a

<title>Funded Summer of Code Projects Announced</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Project received over 120 applications for <a
|
|
href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's
|
|
Summer of Code</a> program, amongst which 25 were selected
|
|
for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate
|
|
applications than available spots for students. However,
|
|
we encourage students to work together with us all year
|
|
round. The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help
|
|
mentor students learn more about operating system
|
|
development through our normal community mailing lists and
|
|
development forums. Contributing to an open source
|
|
software project is a valuable component of a computer
|
|
science education and great preparation for a career in
|
|
software development.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A complete list of the winning students and projects is
|
|
available <a
|
|
href="http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode-2007.html">here</a>.
|
|
A <a href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/SummerOfCode2007">Summer
