We are going to extend the deadline until the 20th to encourage people to submit a few more reports. If you have any projects that you've been working on in the past 3 months that are interesting and you would like to share, please submit a report as soon as possible. The new web form from Julian makes it incredibly easy to generate a submission without having to know a thing about XML. The link for this is at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/monthly.cgi So, please submit your reports to monthly@freebsd.org by the 20th.
