- <p>This report covers &os;-related projects between April and
- June 2015. This is the second of four reports planned for
- 2015.</p>
-
- <p>Another productive quarter for the &os; project and community
- has passed. BSDCan was held in Ottawa in June, and both it and
- the preceding Developer Summit allowed developers to plan for
- the future and discover what others have already
- accomplished.</p>
-
- <p>Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work!</p>
-
- <p>The deadline for submissions covering the period from July
- to September 2015 is October 1, 2015.</p>
+ <p>The second quarter of 2015, from April to June, was another
+ period of busy activity for &os;. This report is the largest we
+ have published so far.</p>
+
+ <p>The cluster and release engineering teams continued to improve
+ the structure that supports &os; building, maintenance, and
+ installability. Projects ran the gamut from security and speed
+ improvements to virtualization and storage appliances. New
+ kernel drivers and capabilities were added, while work to make
+ &os; run on various ARM architectures continued at a rapid pace.
+ The Ports Collection grew, even while adding capabilities and
+ fixing problems. Outside projects like <tt>pkgsrc</tt> have
+ become interested in adding support. Documentation was a major
+ focus, one that is often complimented by people new to &os;.
+ BSDCan 2015 was a great success, turning many hours of sleep
+ deprivation into an even greater amount of inspiration.</p>
+
+ <p>As always, a great deal of this activity was directly sponsored
+ by the Foundation. The project's status as a first-class
+ operating system owes a great deal to the Foundation's past and
+ ongoing work.</p>
+
+ <p>The number and detail of these reports really gives only a tiny
+ glimpse of all that is happening. A huge portion of &os;
+ development takes place all the time, including bug fixes,
+ feature improvements, rewrites, and imports of new code. This
+ ongoing work is difficult, time-consuming, and, far too often,
+ unrecognized. We should take a moment to consider and thank
+ not just the contributors listed here, but also the end users,
+ bug submitters, port maintainers, coders, security analysts,
+ infrastructure defenders, tinkerers, scientists, designers,
+ questioners, answerers, rule makers, testers, documenters,
+ sysadmins, dogmatists, iconoclasts, and crazed geniuses who make
+ &os; such an effective and useful operating system. If you are
+ reading this, you are one of these people, too. Thank you.</p>
