+      <p>We started the quarter with our "Raise a Million — Spend
+	a Million" Spring Fundraiser.  This was the first of three major
+	fundraisers scheduled for the year.  We were pleased to have
+	raised $365,291 by the end of the campaign — May 31.  Last
+	year, by the same time, we had raised only $56,196.  We have
+	started this year off with a much better fundraising strategy.
+	We want to send a big thank you to everyone out there that has
+	made a donation in 2013.  Your early donations have made a
+	significant impact on our fundraising endeavors so far this
+	year.</p>
+
+      <p>Some things we accomplished this last quarter are:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Attended BSDCan in Ottawa, Texas LinuxFest in Austin,
+	  SouthEast LinuxFest in Charlotte, and ICANN 46 meeting in
+	  Beijing.</li>
+
+	<li>We were a Gold Sponsor for BSDCan 2013 and sponsored 7
+	  developers to attend the conference.</li>
+
+	<li>We signed up to be a Platinum Sponsor for EuroBSDCon
+	  2013.</li>
+
+	<li>We sponsored 1 developer to attend OpenHelp.</li>
+
+	<li>Recognized Mark Linimon, Simon L. B. Nielsen, Bjoern A.
+	  Zeeb, and Ken Smith, at BSDCan, for their significant
+	  contributions to &os;.  We also recognized Dan Langille for
+	  his tireless effort of putting on BSDCan for 10 years.</li>
+
+	<li>We sponsored the developer and vendor summits at BSDCan,
+	  with 100 and 30 attendees respectively.</li>
+
+	<li>We sponsored BSD-Day 2013 that was held in Naples, Italy on
+	  April 6.</li>
+
+	<li>We held our annual board meeting in Ottawa.</li>
+
+	<li>We sponsored the following projects: Capsicum, ARM
+	  Superpages, iSCSI, Page Queue Locking, Input/Output Memory
+	  Management Unit, Documentation project infrastructure, and
+	  writing white papers.</li>
+
+	<li>We hired Edward Tomasz Napierała as the second member
+	  of our technical staff to work on &os; projects
+	  full-time.</li>
+
+	<li>We hired Ed Maste as Director of Project Development.</li>
+
+	<li>With our continued support of building out the &os;
+	  infrastructure, we purchased high-end servers for the Sentex Lab
+	  to be used with the latest 40 Gbps Ethernet cards from Chelsio
+	  to do performance testing and analysis, smaller servers for
+	  firewalls for NYI and ISC, and cables to connect our Juniper
+	  switches together into a bigger Juniper switch we purchased
+	  for NYI.</li>
+      </ul>
