+      <p>The collaborative development on the &os; arm64 port
+	made significant progress over the last quarter.  The &os;
+	Foundation is collaborating with ARM, Cavium, the Semihalf team,
+	and Andrew Turner to port &os; to the arm64 architecture,
+	also known as ARMv8 and AArch64.</p>
+
+      <p>After significant review and refinement, the initial set
+	of changes are being delivered into &os;-HEAD.  This initial
+	support targets the QEMU and ARM Foundation Model emulators, and
+	boots to a usable multiuser environment.</p>
+
+      <p>Cavium's ThunderX platform is the initial hardware
+	reference target for the &os; arm64 port.  The platform
+	currently boots to multiuser, with a root file system mounted
+	over NFS via a PCIe 10 Gbps Ethernet NIC.  Reference hardware is
+	installed in the &os; test lab hosted by Sentex Communications
+	and in Semihalf's offices.</p>
