This quarter, we would also like to thank + Steve Wills (<tt>swills@</tt>) for providing access to another + machine so that we can do our work even faster.</p> + + <p>While a great deal of the team's efforts are focused towards + packaging released code, we also take a proactive stand in + making sure future versions of the software we port is also + going to work well on &os;. This involves being in close + contact with upstream, raising awareness of &os; as an active + project and also sending actual patches that most of the time + benefit many other operating systems besides &os; itself. In + this regard, we have been dedicating a lot of time making sure + both <tt>clang</tt> and <tt>libc++</tt> are fully supported in + KDE and Qt. Not only has this resulted in many patches being + sent to these projects, but the exposure to these large code + bases have been beneficial to the Clang-on-&os; project as well. + Dimitry Andric (<tt>dim@</tt>) has been of great help as a point + of contact for all the issues we have faced.</p> + + <p>As usual, the team is always looking for more testers and + porters so please contact us at <tt>kde@FreeBSD.org</tt> and + visit our home page at <a + href="http://FreeBSD.kde.org">http://FreeBSD.kde.org</a>.
