This report is the largest we + have published so far.</p> + + <p>The cluster and release engineering teams continued to improve + the structure that supports &os; building, maintenance, and + installability. Projects ran the gamut from security and speed + improvements to virtualization and storage appliances. New + kernel drivers and capabilities were added, while work to make + &os; run on various ARM architectures continued at a rapid pace. + The Ports Collection grew, even while adding capabilities and + fixing problems. Outside projects like <tt>pkgsrc</tt> have + become interested in adding support. Documentation was a major + focus, one that is often complimented by people new to &os;. + BSDCan 2015 was a great success, turning many hours of sleep + deprivation into an even greater amount of inspiration.</p> + + <p>As always, a great deal of this activity was directly sponsored + by the Foundation.

A huge portion of &os; + development takes place all the time, including bug fixes, + feature improvements, rewrites, and imports of new code. This + ongoing work is difficult, time-consuming, and, far too often, + unrecognized. We should take a moment to consider and thank + not just the contributors listed here, but also the end users, + bug submitters, port maintainers, coders, security analysts, + infrastructure defenders, tinkerers, scientists, designers, + questioners, answerers, rule makers, testers, documenters, + sysadmins, dogmatists, iconoclasts, and crazed geniuses who make + &os; such an effective and useful operating system. If you are + reading this, you are one of these people, too.
