All submissions are due by November 10, 2002. Submissions should be made by filling out the template found at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/status/report-sample.xml Submissions must then be e-mailed to the following address for automated processing (IT HAS CHANGED): monthly@FreeBSD.org Reports must be submitted in the XML format described, or they will be silently dropped. Submissions made to other e-mail addresses will be ignored. If more than one report is submitted for a project, the latest instance will be used. Status reports should be submitted once per project, although project developers may choose to submit additional reports on specific sub-projects of substantial size. Status reports are typically one or two short paragraphs, but the text may be up to 20 lines in length. Submissions are welcome on a variety of topics relating to FreeBSD, including development, documentation, advocacy, and development processes. Submitting developer status reports help maintain an important link between FreeBSD developers, as well as a link to the user and sponsor communities. By submitting a report, you help share information about the rapid progress made by the project, making it easier for advocates to point at the excellent work that's being done! Prior status reports may be viewed at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/status/ Of particular interest, rolling up to the 5.0 release, are reports relating to the major architectural projects with results in 5.0, including SMPng, KSE, GEOM, TrustedBSD, UFS2, newcard, firewire, ACPI, IPsec acceleration, and new hardware ports including sparc64 and ia64. Including reports on the status approaching the release, and identifying areas where "must be done" requirements are present for the release will help consumers of FreeBSD get a sense of what they can expect in 5.0, as well as what other developers need to work on in order to make it happen.
