Июль 2008

  • 28 Июль: The FreeBSD Foundation is seeking the submission of proposals for work relating to any of the major FreeBSD subsystems or infrastructure. A budget of $80,000 was allocated for 2008 to fund multiple development projects. Proposals will be evaluated based on desirability, technical merit and cost-effectiveness.

    To find out more about the proposal process please read the call.

  • 21 Июль: New committer: Yvan Vanhullebus (src)

  • 18 Июль: The FreeBSD Foundation has published their Semi-Annual July 2008 newsletter which summarizes what they have done to help the FreeBSD Project and community.

  • 17 Июль: The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce the conclusion of our fourth consecutive democratic election of project leadership. The FreeBSD Core Team constitutes the project's "Board of Directors" and is responsible for vetting new src committers, arbitrating technical disagreements, weighing in on policy and administrative issues, and appointing sub-committees for handling specific duties (security officer, release engineers, port managers, webmasters, etc..). The core team has been democratically elected every 2 years by active FreeBSD committers since 2000.

    Peter Wemm is rejoining the team after a 2 year hiatus, and Kris Kennaway is joining the team for the first time. The remaining 7 slots were filled with incumbents Wilko Bulte, Brooks Davis, Giorgos Keramidas, George V. Neville-Neil, Hiroki Sato, Murray Stokely, and Robert Watson.

    The new core team would like to especially thank outgoing members Wes Peters and Warner Losh for their many years of service to FreeBSD, our electioneer Dr. Josef Karthauser for running another election for us, and our returning core secretary Philip Paeps.

  • 10 Июнь: Ivan Voras is now a src/ committer. He participated in the Google Summer of Code program in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

  • 3 Июнь: The FreeBSD Project has begun the switch of its source code management system from CVS to Subversion. At this point in time, FreeBSD's developers are making changes to the base system in the Subversion repository. We have a replication system in place that exports our work to the legacy CVS tree on a continuous basis.

    People who are using our extensive CVS based distribution network (including anoncvs, CVSup, cvsweb, ftp) will not be interrupted by our work-in-progress. We are committed to maintaining the existing CVS based distribution system for at least the support lifetime of all existing "stable" branches. Security and errata patches will continue to be made available in their usual CVS locations.

    We expect to make our Subversion based source tree and other supporting infrastructure public soon. There will be new mailing lists to subscribe to if you wish to receive Subversion commit notifications.

    Our ports, doc and www trees are not affected at this time. A separate decision will be made regarding those CVS repositories soon.

    Many people have contributed to the effort, but we wish to thank Michael Haggerty and the cvs2svn project developers for their assistance with cvs2svn. Peter Wemm spent several weeks of Yahoo!'s time repairing the CVS tree, preparing for and performing the conversion, and the configuration of the Subversion infrastructure. Yahoo! donated the server hardware.

Апрель 2008

  • 22 Апрель: The FreeBSD Project received over 100 applications for Google's Summer of Code program, amongst which 21 were selected for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate applications than available spots for students. However, we encourage students to work together with us all year round. The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help mentor students learn more about operating system development through our normal community mailing lists and development forums. Contributing to an open source software project is a valuable component of a computer science education and great preparation for a career in software development.

    A complete list of the winning students and projects is available here. A Summer of Code wiki has been created and additional information about the projects will be added there soon.

  • 22 Апрель: New committer: Gábor Páli (Hungarian doc/www)

Март 2008

  • 31 Март: The deadline for student applications to participate in the Google Summer of Code has been extended by one week. The new deadline is Monday, April 7, 2008.

There are many new ideas listed since the first announcements went out.

  • 26 Март: The student application period for the Google Summer of Code 2008 program has begun. Please peruse our list of FreeBSD specific projects and potential mentors and prepare your application before the March 31 deadline.

  • 17 Март: The FreeBSD Project will soon be accepting applications for the Google Summer of Code 2008 program. This program will provide funding for students to spend the summer contributing to open source software projects. A list of FreeBSD specific projects and potential mentors is available here.

    Once a suitable project and mentor have been identified, interested students should complete a proposal and submit it to Google. The application period begins on March 24, 2008 and the final deadline is April 1, 2008 0:00 UTC. Please see the Google FAQ for more information.
