The &os; Core Team constitutes the project's "Board of + Directors", responsible for deciding the project's overall + goals and direction as well as managing specific areas of the + &os; project landscape.

+ +

Topics for core this quarter have included some far-reaching + policy reviews and some significant changes to the project + development methodology.

+ +

In May, a new release policy was published as well as being + presented at the BSDCan developer conference by John Baldwin. + The idea is that each major release branch (eg. 10.x) is + guarranteed to be supported for at least five years, but + individual point releases on each branch (eg. 10.0-RELEASE) + will be issued at regular intervals and only the latest point + release will be supported.

+ +

Another significant change did not receive approval. When + the change to the Bylaws reforming the core team election + process was put to the vote of all &os; developers it failed + to reach a quorum.

+ +

June saw the culmination of a long running project to replace + the project's bug tracking system. As of 3rd June the &os; + project has switched to Bugzilla as its bug tracking system. + All of the history of Gnats PRs has been preserved, so there + is no need to re-open old tickets. Work is still going on to + replicate some of the integration tweaks that had been applied + to Gnats, but all necessary functionality has been implemented + and the project is already seeing the benefits of the new + capabilities bought by Bugzilla.

+ +

An election to select core members for the next two year term + of office took place during this period. We would like to + thank retiring members of core for their years of service. + The new core team provides continuity with previous core + teams: about half are incumbents from the previous team, and + several former core team members have returned after a hiatus. + core now includes two members of the &os; Foundation board and + one other Foundation staff member, aiding greater coordination + at the top level of the project. At the same time the + core-secretary role was passed on to a new volunteer.

+ +

Other activities included providing consultation on licensing + terms for software within the &os; source tree, and oversight + of changes to the membership of postmaster and clusteradm.

+ +

Three new src commit bits were issued during this quarter, + and one was taken into safekeeping.
