George has been dabbling in the BSD world since his undergraduate days in the mid-1980s. He was granted his commit bit in 2004, and has served two terms on the FreeBSD Core team between 2006 and 2010. In 2011, he started organizing the semi-annual FreeBSD Vendor Summits that gather commercial customers of FreeBSD along with project members in order to facilitate the movement of technologies between the Project and its customers. George co-authored "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System." His technical contributions are mostly within the FreeBSD network stack with occasional forays into other parts of the system. "The Foundation is at a pivotal point in our growth as a company," said Deb Goodkin, Secretary/Treasurer, The FreeBSD Foundation. "We believe with George's previous and current involvement in FreeBSD, that he will be a significant contributor in helping us achieve our ambitious goals this year."

Users of FreeBSD 7.3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.4, FreeBSD 8.1, FreeBSD 8.2, or FreeBSD 9.0 before the that date. Please note that due to the unexpectedly long interval between FreeBSD 8.2 and the upcoming FreeBSD 8.3, the EoL date for FreeBSD 8.2 (originaly set at February 29, 2012) has been postponed until July 31, 2012 in keeping with the policy of having a three-month "upgrade window". In the unlikely event that FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE arrives later than the end of April, the EoL dates for FreeBSD 8.1 and 8.2 will be further postponed. The current supported branches and expected EoL dates are: +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Branch | Release | Type | Release date | Estimated EoL | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7 |n/a |n/a |n/a |February 28, 2013| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_3 |7.3-RELEASE |Extended|March 23, 2010 |March 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_4 |7.4-RELEASE |Extended|February 24, 2011|February 28, 2013| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8_1 |8.1-RELEASE |Extended|July 23, 2010 |July 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_8_2 |8.2-RELEASE |Normal |February 24, 2011|July 31, 2012 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_9 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_9_0 |9.0-RELEASE |Normal |January 10, 2012 |January 31, 2013 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ - -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk9WFXQACgkQFdaIBMps37J6KgCbBJDCOI8nekcEeOvfceRBZ6wB RO0AnjodgSFb8//a0M1clLcQ764qS3co =HTwe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Mar 6 14:45:15 2012 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 09413106566C for ; Tue, 6 Mar 2012 14:45:15 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from deb@freebsdfoundation.org) Received: from aslan.scsiguy.com (www.scsiguy.com [70.89.174.89]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D10598FC18 for ; Tue, 6 Mar 2012 14:45:14 +0000 (UTC) Received: from Deb-Goodkins-MacBook-Pro.local (c-71-196-153-166.hsd1.co.comcast.net [71.196.153.166]) (authenticated bits=0) by aslan.scsiguy.com (8.14.5/8.14.5) with ESMTP id q26EjDf4052635 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO) for ; Tue, 6 Mar 2012 07:45:14 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from deb@freebsdfoundation.org) Message-ID: <4F5622F4.7000704@freebsdfoundation.org> Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 07:45:08 -0700 From: Deb Goodkin User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20120216 Thunderbird/10.0.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Greylist: Sender succeeded SMTP AUTH, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.2.7 (aslan.scsiguy.com [70.89.174.89]); Tue, 06 Mar 2012 07:45:14 -0700 (MST) X-Mailman-Approved-At: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:42:34 +0000 Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] Foundation Funds Project to Grow Filesystems Online X-BeenThere: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: "Project Announcements \[moderated\]" List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:45:15 -0000 The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that Edward Tomasz Napierala has been awarded a grant to implement the ability to grow filesystems while they are mounted. "Users of FreeBSD in a virtualized environment will be pleased with the increased ease of deployment afforded by the ability to grow mounted filesystems," said Ed Maste, Director, The FreeBSD Foundation. This project will add GEOM and filesystem changes that are necessary to increase the size of both UFS and ZFS filesystems while a filesystem is mounted read-write. This project will provide the additional benefit of online provisioning of virtual instances. The Foundation is pleased to be working with Edward again. He was previously awarded a grant to implement resource containers and a simple per-jail resource limits mechanism. This work was included in FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE. This project is expected to be completed by October 2012.
