 	  <title>Official support for NVIDIA graphics cards on amd64
 	    architecture</title>
 
 	  <p>The NVIDIA Corporation releases an initial BETA version of
 	    NVIDIA 195.22 &os; graphics drivers for both i386 and amd64
 	    architectures.  The drivers support recent versions of the
 	    &os; operating system, i.e. 7.2-STABLE and 8.0-RELEASE and
 	    provide support for features like SLI, improved
 	    compatibility and performance, especially on systems with
 	    4GB or more of RAM.  This marks the first driver release for
 	    amd64, as it was previously available only for i386
 	    architecture.  Please see the original <a
 	      href="http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142120">announcement</a>

 	  <title>Portmgr reorganization</title>
 
 	  <p>Portmgr is happy to announce that two new members will
 	  join the team.</p>
 
 	  <p>Martin Wilke has been one of our most active committers
 	  since receiving his commit bit today 3 years ago.  He has
 	  been working in a number of subgroups including python,
 	  ports-security and the KDE team.</p>
 
 	  <p>Ion-Mihai Tetcu has been interested in regression testing
 	  and qualitiy assurance, creating QAT automated tinderbox
 	  testing of all port commits on a per-commit basis, and adding
 	  on-the-fly feedback to the snapshot builds from the pointyhat
 	  package cluster.</p>
 
 	  <p>Unfortunately, we will also be saying goodbye to Kirill
 	  Ponomarew, who hasn't had much time to spend on FreeBSD and
 	  will be stepping down from portmgr.</p>
 
 	  <p>We thank Kirill for all his contributions in the past and
 	  wish Martin and Ion-Mihai the best of luck with the new tasks
 	  bestowed upon them.</p>

 	  <p>The FreeBSD Project again received many high quality
 	    applications from students participating
 	    in <a href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's Summer of
 	    Code</a> program.  This year 20 student proposals were
 	    accepted to work with the FreeBSD Project as part of this
 	    program.  For those with projects that were not accepted
 	    this year, we'd like to note that the FreeBSD Project is
 	    always willing to help mentor students so they can learn
 	    more about operating system development through our normal
 	    community mailing lists and development forums.</p>
