+Here is the first 2025 status report, with 40 entries.
+
+As we step into a new year, the FreeBSD community continues its work with unwavering speed, intent, and purpose.
+
+The first quarter has been remarkable, with numerous reports highlighting progress across various areas.
+Engaging with the community through forums, mailing lists, and conversations has revealed to me more advancements than can ever be captured in a single quarterly report.
+
+We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who submitted reports and helped raise awareness of our activities.
+Your contributions are invaluable in showcasing our collective efforts.
+
+Let us build on the success of 2024 and make this the best year yet for FreeBSD and our community!
