FreeBSD Status Report Third Quarter 2005

July-October 2005 Status Report

Introduction

   After a long, exhausting, yet very productive third quarter of 2005
   FreeBSD 6.0 has been released. Many activities were put into the
   background in order to make this release the success it has become.

   Nontheless, we received a tremendous amount of reports covering
   various projects that either found their way into FreeBSD 6.0 already
   or have started to develop in, what is now known as 7-CURRENT. The
   EuroBSDCon and the Developer Summit in Basel next week will be a good
   opportunity to help some of the ideas herein to take off.

   Last round we had the pleasure to introduce our accepted Google Summer
   of Code projects. Now, that the summer is over, we are even more
   pleased to include reports about the outcome of these projects. Some
   already found their way into the tree or the general public otherwise
   - most ocularly the new webdesign.

   Unfortunately, this publication has been delayed for various reasons -
   the before mentioned release of 6.0 being one of them. Thus, some of
   the reports might no longer be as up to date as they were when we
   received them and we encourage you - even more this time - to also
   visit the weblinks to get more recent information.

   Thanks again to everyone who submitted reports, and our sincere
   apologies for running late this time.
