Dear all, I would like to remind you to submit your status reports as soon as possible. Long time has passed since the last status reports were released; and surely a lot has had happened since then. Our developers are relaxed after DevSummit and EuroBSDCon in Cambridge, which both were great! I believe a lot of stuff has been discussed during these events (I hope we will have reports covering this too) and since the last report a lot of things have happened. During that time, two other conferences have been held (BSDCan and AsiaBSDCon), we have released 7.2, not to mention that 8.0 is behind the door. Google Summer of Code should be finished by now too, and we would like to hear about its results. Surely there are a lot more projects which are currently being worked on, so please do not hesitate and write us a few lines - a short description about what you are working on, what are the plans and goals, so we can inform our community about your great work! It's useful for you as well as our users! Please note, the submissions for this quarter (well...rather halfyear, because we should now cover 4-9/2009) are due by October 7th, 2009. Please post the filled-in XML template to be found at http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-sample.xml to monthly@FreeBSD.org, or alternatively use our web based form at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/monthly.cgi. We are looking forward to see your submissions! -- S pozdravom / Best regards Daniel Gerzo, FreeBSD committer
