+The Open Source Vulnerability database effort has been ongoing since May. The target for this effort was to produce an OSV database and retire the old VuXML database format.
+
+Currently, there is a test database and a pull request for `pkg(8)`. The test database can be updated from VuXML and converted to OSV JSON format. Needed tooling to update and create a merged database file for `pkg(8)` is complete. There is also exporting for Commonmark which renders fine in Github.
+
+Additionally, upstream support for FreeBSD in the OSV Schema has been implemented, allowing OSV files to be validated against official sources. There has also been an effort for PURL that is slowly moving forward.
+
+If you want to help with this project, here are some tasks:
+
+- Verify that conversion from VuXML to OSV is accurate
+- Verify that `pkg(8)` can use the OSV database and produces correct output
