 The deadline for the next FreeBSD Status Report update is

 %%START%% %%YEAR%% - %%STOP%% %%YEAR%%.
-I would like to remind you that reports are published on a quarterly
-basis and are usually collected during the last month of each quarter,
-You are also welcome to submit them even earlier if you want, and the
-earlier you submit them, the more time we have for reviewing.
 
 Status report submissions do not need to be very long. They may be
 about anything happening in the FreeBSD project and community, and
