+      <p>This quarter, 2017Q2, broke the 30,000 ports landmark for the
+	first time.  The PR count is currently just under 2,500 with
+	almost 600 of them unassigned.  This quarter saw almost 7,400
+	commits from 171 committers.  More PRs got closed this
+	quarter, but also more PRs got sent in, both of which are good
+	to see.</p>
+
+      <p>Over the past three months, we welcomed four new committers:
+	Bradley T.  Hughes (bhughes@), Danilo G. Baio (dbaio@), Jochen
+	Neumeister (joneum@), and Richard Gallamore (ultima@).  kan@
+	re-joined us as a ports committer.  One commit bit, that of
+	bf@, was taken in for safekeeping after a long period of
+	inactivity.</p>
+
+      <p>On the management side, the Port Management Team welcomed
+	back bapt@, who is working on several new features for the
+	Ports Tree.  The Port Management Team also had its annual
+	real-life meeting during BSDCan.</p>
+
+      <p>On the infrastructure side, three new <tt>USES</tt> values
+	were introduced:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li><tt>cargo</tt>, to ease the porting of Rust packages or
+	  binaries using the <tt>cargo</tt> command (also covered
+	  separately in this report).</li>
+
+	<li><tt>groff</tt>, to handle the dependency on the
+	  <tt>groff</tt> document formatting system, that has been
+	  removed from the base system for &os; 12.</li>
+
+	<li><tt>meson</tt>, to provide support for projects based on
+	  Meson.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The default version of PostgreSQL switched from 9.3 to 9.5,
+	and that of Python3 from 3.5 to 3.6.  The default generator
+	for ports using <tt>cmake</tt> has been switched to
+	<tt>ninja</tt>.</p>
+
+      <p>Some major version updates are: <tt>pkg</tt> 1.10.1, Firefox
+	54.0.1, and Chromium 59.0.3071.115.</p>
+
+      <p>Behind the scenes, antoine@ ran 36 exp-runs to test version updates,
+	making CRAN ports platform-independent, test installing
+	bsdgrep(1) as <tt>/usr/bin/grep</tt>, test LLVM updates, test
+	the ino64 project, and perform Makefile cleanups.</p>
