+      <p>The &os; Cluster Administration Team consists of the people
+	responsible for administering the machines that the project
+	relies on for its distributed work and communications to be
+	synchronised.</p>
+
+      <p>Our primary cluster has been hosted as a guest in California
+	for many years.  Our ongoing project is relocating the core
+	functionality to a location in New Jersey with a formal
+	hosting arrangement.  This is an equipment refresh,
+	consolidation for better use of resources, and for better
+	continuity of service.</p>
+
+      <p>There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work to
+	make this happen.  The original cluster was implemented with
+	a common, shared, assumed-to-be secure network with
+	ubiquitous NFS everywhere.  This structure does not lend
+	itself well to being distributed across geographically
+	diverse locations, particularly when Internet transit is
+	required.  The bulk of the work is rebuilding services to be
+	portable, stand-alone components that do not depend on
+	shared-network access and are safe enough to use across the
+	insecure Internet.</p>
+
+      <p>Highlights this quarter:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Many internal distribution systems switched from rsync to
+	  a distribution mesh using &quot;syncthing&quot;.</li>
+	<li>We have implemented more code/data signing infrastructure
+	  with out-of-band verification.</li>
+	<li>New 32-core reference build hosts are online.</li>
+	<li>Internal admbugs switched from bugzilla 4.4 to 5.0 and
+	  packages were made available for the bugmeister team.</li>
+	<li>Finally switched from varnish3 to varnish4.</li>
+	<li>We exorcised hub.FreeBSD.org, the last survivor of the
+	  2012 security incident.</li>
+	<li>vuxml and the legacy portaudit build system were converted to
+	  components and integrated.</li>
+	<li>https://download.FreeBSD.org/ is nearing completion (please
+	  do not use until officially announced).</li>
+	<li>A Taiwan node was brought into service for pkg, ftp,
+	  svn, and vuxml mirroring.</li>
+	<li>One of the freebsd-update mirrors was converted from
+	  lighttpd to nginx due to a data corruption bug.</li>
+	<li>Completed detachment of the svn repository from the old
+	  cluster and moved it to its new location.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Ongoing:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>The cluster runs a mixture of 11-current and 10-stable
+	  as part of our &quot;eat our own dogfood&quot; project.  For this
+	  to be useful we do monthly cluster refreshes to keep up with
+	  current code.</li>
+	<li>We build internal base system snapshots every few days
+	  and packages every day.</li>
+	<li>We also provide support for non-clusteradm-operated
+	  services including jenkins, reviews, portsnap,
+	  freebsd-update, bugzilla, package builders, git, and mercurial.
+	  This varies from as little as maintaining SSL front-ends
+	  through operating servers, distributing data or building
+	  packages/binaries to run.</li>
+      </ul>
