+
+
+
+ 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.
+
+ In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Core Team has finally
+ reached its previous goal about launching the official
+ repositories for pkg(8)-based binary packages. The
+ Core Team also unified the commit bit expiration policies for
+ all the Project repositories, allowing the committers to stay
+ idle for 18 months before their commit bits are automatically
+ taken into safekeeping. This was then followed by an extension
+ on suspending cluster accounts for the committers who lost all
+ of their commit bits. It helps to improve the security of the
+ Project server farm by temporarily disabling inactive accounts.
+ In conjuction with all those efforts, Thomas Abthorpe
+ resurrected the Grim Reaper
service which helps to
+ enforce the aforementioned policy.
+
+ Along the works of John Baldwin and Hiroki Sato, many licenses
+ in the base system's source code have been revisited and cleaned
+ up. Furthermore, the Core Team is hoping that the situation
+ could be improved by introducing periodic automated checks of
+ the license agreements, and by giving developers guidelines on
+ licensing questions. John Baldwin and David Chisnall have been
+ guiding the work of the &os; Graphics Team on moving to the
+ newer version of X.Org and related software in the Ports
+ Collection, in coordination with the switch to Newcons on &os;
+ 10.x.
+
+ It was a busy quarter for the src repository as well. The Core
+ Team was happy to welcome Jordan K. Hubbard (jkh) back
+ who has recently returned to the &os; business, and joined
+ iXsystems as project manager and release engineer of FreeNAS.
+ In addition to this, there were 3 commit bits handed out for new
+ developers, 2 committers have gained upgrade, 1 commit bit was
+ taken for safekeeping, and 1 src bit was reactivated.
