+      <p>In the third quarter of 2013, the Core Team focused on
+	officially launching <tt>pkg.freebsd.org</tt>, the Project's
+	official <tt>pkg(8)</tt> repository, in cooperation with the
+	Port Management Team, the Security Team, and the Cluster
+	Administration Team.  At the same time, there are plans to
+	gradually deprecate the use of the old pkg_tools, allowing
+	<tt>pkg(8)</tt> to be the default binary package management
+	solution for &os;, arriving with 10.0-RELEASE.  Thomas Abthorpe
+	has been appointed to the role of liaison between the Core Team
+	and the Ports Management Team, in order to make the
+	collaboration more effective.</p>
+
+      <p>David Chisnall has joined the group that publishes the
+	Quarterly Status reports and compiled a special status report on
+	the results of the BSDCan 2013 Developer Summit.  David
+	also took the lead role on the organization of an off-season
+	developer summit in Cambridge, UK, which was finally held at the
+	end of August.  For the items discussed in Cambridge,
+	preparation of a detailed report is still in progress.</p>
+
+      <p>There were src commit bits issued for 5 new developers and most
+	of the src commits being idle more than 12 months have been
+	taken into safekeeping as result of a major cleanup in the
+	repository access file in July, performed by Gavin Atkinson.</p>
