 21 Translate FreeBSD's official articles and books on Weblate

In order to make the process of translating FreeBSD's official articles and books more accessible to new contributors, the project is adopting Weblate as its web-based continuous localization platform.

This tool has been in use for some months by some of our translation teams (pt_BR, es_ES and zh_CN) and due to the excellent results obtained and the maturity of the workflow adopted, we believe we are ready to open it to new collaborators.

With the adoption of this new tool the translation process has become quite simple, and anyone willing to donate a few minutes to the project can contribute to it!

If you are interested in contributing to the documentation project by translating official documents you can get more information at our wiki and by reading the announcement sent to freebsd-translators list.

 2 14 FreeBSD Project to participate in Google Summer of Code 2018

The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation in Google's 2018 Summer of Code program, which funds summer students to participate in open source projects. This will be the FreeBSD Project's fourteenth year in the program, having mentored over 210 successful students through summer-long coding projects between 2005 and 2017.

Past successful projects have included improvements to Linux ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing, FUSE file system support, and countless other projects. Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well as participating in FreeBSD developer events around the world through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation.

Prospective participants are invited to apply; more information is available, including proposal and deadline information, on the FreeBSD Summer Projects page.

 19 Happy Birthday &os;!

&os; celebrated its 20th birthday today. On June 19, 1993, Jordan Hubbard, Rod Grimes, and David Greenman announced to the world the creation of their new fork of the BSD 4.3 operating system.

&os; was derived from the 386BSD 0.1 release from Bill and Lynne Jolitz with its 1.0 release in Nov 1993. Its stated goals were to create a fast, stable, reliable server OS for i386 systems.

Since then, it has become the backbone of countless products and has grown to supporting 64bit computing, embedded devices, and desktop users.

 10 Ports CVS End of Life on February 28th 2013

The development of &os; ports is done in Subversion nowadays. By February 28th 2013, the &os; ports tree will no longer be exported to CVS. Therefore ports tree updates via CVS, CVSup or csup(1) will no longer be available after that date. All users who use CVS, CVSup or csup(1) to update the ports tree are encouraged to switch to portsnap(8) or for users which need more control over their ports collection checkout, use Subversion directly. More information are available in the announcement mail on the &os; ports announce mailing list.

A migration guide from CVSup or csup(1) to portsnap(8) is also available in the &os; Handbook.
