Log:
  Add the Q3 and Q4 status reports.
  
  These aren't linked to from anywhere yet, as I wanted to open up the review
  process more. In one day or so, I plan to have incorporated any reasonable
  changes I receive (via email - comments or patches are welcome), and then
  complete the rest of the report release process.

+      <p>In the course of developing the <a
+	  href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri.html">
+	    CHERI processor</a> as part of the <a
+	  href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/">CTSRD
+	    project</a> SRI International's Computer Science Laboratory and
+	the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory have developed
+	support for a number of general purpose IP cores for Altera FPGAs
+	including the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (ATSE) MAC core, the
+	Altera University Program SD Card core, and the Altera JTAG UART.
+	We have also added support for general access to memory mapped
+	devices on the Avalon bus via the avgen bus. We have implemented
+	both nexus and flattened device tree (FDT) attachments for these
+	devices.</p>
+
+      <p>In addition to these softcore we have developed support for
+	the Terasic multi-touch LCD and are working to provide support
+	for the Terasic HDMI Transmitter Daughter Card. Both of these
+	work with common development and/or reference boards for Altera
+	FPGAs. They do require additional IP cores which we plan to
+	release to the open source community in the near future.</p>
+
+      <p>With exception of the ATSE and HDMI drivers we have merged all
+	of these changes to &os;-CURRENT. We anticipate that these
+	drivers will be useful for users who with to run &os; on either
+	hard or soft core CPUs on Altera FPGAs.</p>
+
+      <p>This work has been sponsored by DARPA, AFRL, and Google.</p>

+	project was officially started under sponsorship from the &os;
+	Foundation. Before the end of September I've written ctld(8), the
+	userspace part of the target, responsible for handling
+	configuration, accepting incoming connections, performing
+	authentication and iSCSI parameter negotiation, and handing off
+	connections to the kernel. For the time being, I've reused some
+	parts of protocol-handling code from the istgt project; since
+	ctld(8) only handles the Login phase, the code can be rewritten
+	in a much simpler and shorter way in the future.</p>

+	from GNATS.</p>
+
+      <p>The bugbusting team continue work on trying to make the
+	contents of the GNATS PR database cleaner, more accessible and
+	easier for committers to find and resolve PRs, by tagging PRs
+	to indicate the areas involved, and by ensuring that there is
+	sufficient info within each PR to resolve each issue.</p>
+
+      <p>As always, anybody interested in helping out with the PR
+	queue is welcome to join us in #freebsd-bugbusters on EFnet. We
+	are always looking for additional help, whether your interests
+	lie in triaging incoming PRs, generating patches to resolve
+	existing problems, or simply helping with the database
+	housekeeping (identifying duplicate PRs, ones that have already
+	been resolved, etc). This is a great way of getting more

+    <body>
+      <p>In the end of August, there was an "off-season" Developer
+	Summit held in Cambridge, UK at the University of Cambridge
+	Computer Laboratory. This was a three-day event, with a
+	documentation summit scheduled for the day before.  The three
+	days of the main event were split into three sessions, with two
+	tracks in each.  Some of them even involved ARM developers from
+	the neighborhoods which proven to be productive, and led to
+	further engagement between the &os; community and ARM.</p>
+
+      <p>The schedule was finalized on the first day, spawning a
+	plethora of topics to discuss, followed by splitting into groups.
+	A short summary from each of the groups was presented in the
+	final session and then published at the event's home page on the
+	&os; wiki. This summit contributed greatly to arriving to a
+	tentative plan for throwing the switch to make clang the default
+	compiler on HEAD. This was further discussed on the mailing list,
+	and has now happened, bringing us one big step closer to a
+	GPL-free &os; 10. As part of the program, an afternoon of short
+	talks from researchers in the Cambridge Computer Laboratory
+	involved either operating systems work in general or &os; in
+	particular. Robert Watson showed off a tablet running &os; on a
+	MIPS-compatible soft-core processor running on an Altera
+	FPGA.</p>
+
+      <p>In association with the event, a dinner was hosted by St. John's
+	college and co-sponsored by Google and the &os; Foundation. The
+	day after the conference, a trip was organized to Bletchley Park,
+	which was celebrating Turing's centenary in 2012.</p>

+      <p>Over the Summer of 2012, &os; were once again granted a
+	place to participate in the Google Summer of Code program. We
+	received a total of 32 project proposals, and were ultimately
+	given 15 slots for university students to work on open source
+	projects mentored by existing &os; developers.</p>
+
+      <p>We were able to accept a wide spread of proposals, covering
+	both the base system and the ports infrastructure. We had
+	students working on file systems, file integrity checking, and
+	parallelization in the ports collection. Students worked on
+	kernel infrastructure, including one project to support CPU
+	resource limits on users, processes and jails, and one student
+	improving the BSD callout(9) and timer facilities. Two students
+	worked on the ARM platform, widely used in embedded systems and
+	smart phones; one student worked on a significant cleanup and
+	improvements to the Flattened Device Tree implementation code,
+	while the other ported &os; to the OMAP3-based BeagleBoard-xM
+	device. One student worked on improving IPv6 support in
+	userland tools, whilst another worked on BIOS emulation for the
+	BHyVE BSD-licensed hypervisor, new in &os; 10. Other students
+	worked on EFI boot support, userland lock profiling and an
+	automated kernel crash reporting system.</p>
+
+      <p>Overall, a significant proportion of the code produced has
+	or will be integrated into &os; in one form or another. All of
+	the work is available in our Summer Of Code Subversion
+	repository, and some of the work has already been merged back
+	into the main repositories.</p>
+
+      <p>&os; is once again grateful to Google for being selected to
+	participate in Summer of Code 2012.</p>

+      <p>&os; has been using for a while a very old version of GNU
+	patch that is partially under the GPLv2. The original GNU patch
+	utility is based on an initial implementation by Larry Wall that
+	was not actually copyleft. OpenBSD did many enhancements to an
+	older non-copyleft version of patch, this version was later
+	adopted and further refined by DragonFlyBSD and NetBSD but there
+	was no centralized development of the tool and &os; kept working
+	independently. In less than a week we took the version in
+	DragonFlyBSD and adapted the &os; enhancements to make it behave
+	nearer to the version used natively in &os;. Most of the work was
+	done by Pedro Giffuni, adapting patches from sepotvin@ and ed@,
+	and additional contributions were done by Christoph Mallon, Gabor
+	Kovesdan and Xin Li. As a result of this we now have a new
+	version of patch committed in head/usr.bin/patch that you can try
+	by using WITH_BSD_PATCH in your builds. The new patch(1) doesn't
+	support the &os;-specific -I and -S options which don't seem
+	necessary. In GNU patch -I actually means 'ignore whitespaces'
+	and we now support it too.</p>
