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.

+ +

The third quarter of this year was a relatively quiet time in + terms of Core Team activity. One issue stands out as + absorbing a great deal of Core's attention during the period: + Kip Macy's request to restore his commit bit. Eventually, and + after a great deal of internal discussion, the request was + declined.

+ +

Other items dealt with by core during this period:

+ +

Confirmed that DCTCP, although patented by Microsoft, was + permissible to commit to FreeBSD.
Promoted git-beta.freebsd.org out of beta-test to an + official service, consequently renaming it to + git.freebsd.org.
Mediated between groups of contributors and committers + adopting different positions on the on-going work to + introduce ASLR and associated technologies.
Worked with the &os; Foundation to obtain a license for + XenForo, and with the Forum administrators on plans to migrate + the FreeBSD forums onto the FreeBSD cluster and to switch to + XenForo.

+ +

During this period, three commit bits were granted, and two + commit bits were taken in for safe keeping.
