The &os; Core Team constitutes the project's Board of + Directors, responsible for deciding the project's overall + goals and direction as well as managing specific areas of the + &os; project landscape.

+ +

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Core Team has finally + reached its previous goal about launching the official + repositories for pkg(8)-based binary packages. The + Core Team also unified the commit bit expiration policies for + all the Project repositories, allowing the committers to stay + idle for 18 months before their commit bits are automatically + taken into safekeeping. This was then followed by an extension + on suspending cluster accounts for the committers who lost all + of their commit bits. It helps to improve the security of the + Project server farm by temporarily disabling inactive accounts. + In conjuction with all those efforts, Thomas Abthorpe + resurrected the Grim Reaper service which helps to + enforce the aforementioned policy.

+ +

Along the works of John Baldwin and Hiroki Sato, many licenses + in the base system's source code have been revisited and cleaned + up. Furthermore, the Core Team is hoping that the situation + could be improved by introducing periodic automated checks of + the license agreements, and by giving developers guidelines on + licensing questions. John Baldwin and David Chisnall have been + guiding the work of the &os; Graphics Team on moving to the + newer version of X.Org and related software in the Ports + Collection, in coordination with the switch to Newcons on &os; + 10.x.

+ +

It was a busy quarter for the src repository as well. The Core + Team was happy to welcome Jordan K. Hubbard (jkh) back + who has recently returned to the &os; business, and joined + iXsystems as project manager and release engineer of FreeNAS. + In addition to this, there were 3 commit bits handed out for new + developers, 2 committers have gained upgrade, 1 commit bit was + taken for safekeeping, and 1 src bit was reactivated.
