Introduction

This is a draft of the October–December 2014 status report. Please check back after it is finalized, and an announcement email is sent to the &os;-Announce mailing list.

This report covers &os;-related projects between October and December 2014. This is the last of four reports planned for 2014.

The fourth quarter of 2014... was a very busy and productive time

Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work!

With funding from the &os; Foundation, the &os; forums + were migrated to XenForo software. The new software is far more + capable and easy to use. While the entire forum team + contributed, &a.danger; did a particularly excellent job + importing existing users and messages and bringing back the + often-requested "Thanks" feature. The upgrade was completed in + time to be ready for the influx of new users from the release of + &os; 10.1, and we have already seen an increase in usage.

+ +

Developers with an @FreeBSD.org address can contact forum + administrators to obtain the highly-desired "@" suffix on their + forum user name along with a Developer flag.

+ +

We want to thank the Foundation for making this possible, and + the users for their patience and continued presence on the + forums!

+ + + + The &os; Foundation + + + + +

Encourage more developers and users to try the new forums.

+ + + +

Continue getting feedback from users for tuning and + improvements.
