+
+October 2024 marked the inception of the Laptop and Desktop Workgroup (LDWG), affectionately known as "Ludwig".
+This initiative provides a collaborative platform for the community to engage in development, testing, knowledge exchange, and advocacy for FreeBSD on laptops and desktops.
+We welcome anyone interested to join us.
+
+Scope of Work:
+
+* Content Creation: Develop recordings, articles, tutorials, documentation, and system configurations for stakeholders interested in FreeBSD on laptops and desktops.
+* Encouraging Contributions: Invite developers, testers, and industry experts to enhance the usability of FreeBSD on laptops and desktops.
+* Facilitating Collaboration: Promote code contributions, testing initiatives, operational support, and hardware insights.
+* Supporting User Stories and Ongoing Projects: Assist in the creation, validation, prioritization, and delivery of user stories identified in the FreeBSD Foundation’s “Laptop” investment work package.
+
+On November 16, 2024, the LDWG held its inaugural virtual meeting.
+The strong interest in FreeBSD for laptops and desktops was evident from the diverse group of participants, including developers, contributors, Discord community moderators, users, and FreeBSD Foundation members.
+Meeting slides, minutes, and recordings are available on the Group’s link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/LaptopDesktopWorkingGroup[wiki page].
+
+During the meeting, we identified and prioritized gaps and potential improvements in the following areas:
+
+* Console
+* Desktop Environment
+* Documentation
+* Hardware
+ ** Graphics
+ ** Wireless (WiFi and Bluetooth)
+ ** USB/Thunderbolt
+* Installer
+* Performance
+* Software and Port Availability
+
+All activities are documented on the link:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15btrze2sZrprSBd3Hb3YG27cZqG0AFjcvLlcTTifpIE/edit?gid=0#gid=0[Group's worksheet].
+We encourage anyone interested in contributing add their name.
+If you have any planned or ongoing work, please include it in the worksheet.

+Alice Sowerby provided an update on the link:https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop[The Foundation’s Laptop project], highlighting the need for volunteers to support testing efforts.
+
+The Group is running an link:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6-AOHpnae4o40CSr0tt6GlmfgfP7A9REdulJmPw9Nn0Uo_w/viewform?usp=sf_link[online survey] to gather input from non-participants.
+The survey will remain open until the next call in January, where results will be presented and discussed.
+
+The next call is scheduled for January 20, 2025 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM UTC.
+We hope to see you there!
