In general, there are 4 places you can go, to get more information on FreeBSD development. Which area is most active depends on each community. ## wiki - FreeBSD wiki https://wiki.freebsd.org/ has a lot of developer-focused info, not always up to date, usually points you to where-ever a group is most active. e.g. - https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve https://wiki.freebsd.org/DevSummit/202106 <- see the youtube links for videos from last developer virtual summit a couple of weeks ago ## patch review - phabricator where patches go for community review. Many teams have a specific reviewers group. You can sign up, and join, the bhyve group there, for example: https://reviews.freebsd.org/project/profile/65/ there are other ones for docs, ports, etc, as well. Specifically for bhyve: - ARMv8 implementation - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26976 - Snapshot Save and Restore multiple devices - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26387 - Using JSON format for saving and restoring the state -https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29262 - Warm Migration feature for bhyve - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D28270 ## source commits - the source code, keeping an eye on active commits. https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-commits-src-main has all the commits for CURRENT. You can subscribe to the list, and set up a few rules to filter stuff you're interested in. Ports & Docs have their own lists, as ## chat (IRC) Many of the FreeBSD communities are also on IRC https://wiki.freebsd.org/irc/ including #bhyve on libera.chat and the more general #freebsd channel. If you're not familiar with IRC, try a free irccloud account to get started: https://www.irccloud.com/invite?channel=%23bhyve&hostname=libera.chat&port=6697&ssl=1 Most of the above applies to other areas of FreeBSD, you can check the wiki for specifics.
