+Here is the third 2024 status report, with 32 entries.
+
+Unfortunately we are late this quarter, just like last quarter.
+As our readers know, many FreeBSD contributors are volunteers, so it is natural that less important deadlines like the status reports ones are not always met.
+Indeed, if you are not a FreeBSD contributor yet, link:https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/contributing/[please consider joining us]: you could help lighten someone's burden while learning new skills, working side by side with developers all over the world.
+
+Have a nice read.
+
+Lorenzo Salvadore, on behalf of the Status Team.
