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 first quarter of 2014 was very active for the Core Team. + &a.jhb; and &a.theraven; kept coordinating the work required for + providing a newer version of X.Org for 9.x and 10.x systems. + Now, after that vt(4), a successor to + syscons(4) that offers a KMS-enabled console, has been + merged to both stable/9 and stable/10, an + alternative pkg(8) repository is in preparation for + wider testing. In addition to that, &a.jhb; published the + policy on licenses for new files and files with non-standard + licenses. Thanks to the efforts of &a.gavin;, &os; has again + made it into the Google Summer of Code program, for the tenth + time now. &a.theraven; reported that both libc++ and + libstdc++ can be now built as all the + standards-compliant implementations of the required numerical + functions have been added.

+ +

The Core Team has conducted an annual review among the Project + teams and hats, where they had to declare if they are wishing to + continue their service. As a result, &a.flo; replaced &a.dhw; + in the lead role of the Postmaster Team, and &a.gjb; assumed the + head Release Engineer position from &a.kensmith;. The Core Team + congratulates to Florian and Glen, and thanks David and Ken for + their long-standing work.

+ +

The Core Team approved chartering the Ports Security Team, + which is established to maintain security updates for the ported + applications. In coordination with the Port Management Team, + pkg_tools was eventually deprecated and tagged with an + End-of-Life date, in order to clear the way for pkg(8). + The Port Management Team also requested a way to make it + possible to track userland ABI and KBI changes reliably for the + Ports Collection. Ideally this can be achieved by increasing + the value of __FreeBSD_version on each fix, therefore + the corresponding discussion concluded in freezing the ABI note + tag for releases in order to keep the size of the binary patches + for freebsd-update(8) low. A related Errata Notice is + about to be published soon.

+ +

There was only a single commit bit was taken for safekeeping, + we did not have new committers to the src/ repository in + this quarter.
