The &os; Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization + dedicated to supporting and promoting the &os; Project and + community worldwide. Most of the funding is used to support + &os; development projects, conferences and developer summits, + purchase equipment to grow and improve the &os; infrastructure, + and provide legal support for the Project.

+ +

We published the first issue of the &os; Journal, our new on-line + &os; magazine. The positive feedback from both the &os; and + outside communities has been incredible. This quarter we began work + on articles and promotion for the second issue. We also started working + on a dynamic version of the magazine that can be read in many web + browsers including those that run on &os;.

+ +

This year we are earmarking more funding towards &os; advocacy + and education. You will see more literature, white papers, + articles, and so on to help promote &os;.

+ +

The Foundation held a board meeting in Berkeley, California, in + January. We discussed longer term strategy and planning for the + year. We put together our 2014 budget with a plan of raising at + least $1,000,000 and spending $900,000.

+ +

Two Foundation funded projects were completed. The first, + co-sponsored by Google, integrated the Casper daemon into &os;. + The second was auditdistd(8) improvements for the &os; + cluster.

+ +

Work continued on the following Foundation-sponsored projects: + Intel graphics driver update by &a.kib;, UEFI boot support for + amd64 by &a.emaste;, autofs automounter and in-kernel + iSCSI stack enhancements, bug fixes by &a.trasz;, updated + vt(4) system console by &a.ray;. A more detailed + project update for each of the above projects can be found + within this quarterly status report.

+ +

We were a Gold Sponsor for NYCBSDCon 2014 in New York, + February 8, which was attended by sSeveral board members. We + were represented at SCALE in Los Angeles, February 22-23, and + ICANN in Singapore, March 22-25.

+ +

We were a sponsor for AsiaBSDCon in Tokyo, March 15-16. Board + member &a.hrs; was the conference organizer. Board members + &a.mckusick; and &a.gnn; taught tutorials and Kirk gave a + keynote. Board member &a.dru; manned the foundation table and + spoke at one of the sessions.

+ +

We became a Gold+ sponsor for BSDCan 2014, May 16-17 and + have started reaching out to vendors to attend the developer + summit that runs in the two days before BSDCan.

+ +

Board members George, Kirk, and &a.rwatson; pushed to finish + the final draft of the next edition of their book The Design + and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System.

+ +

ITWire editor Sam Varghese published an interview with Kirk and + Foundation technical manager &a.emaste; about the status of + secure boot on &os;.

+ +

The &os; Logo is now officially a registered trademark to + represent the &os; operating system. We are working to expand the + registration beyond just the &os; operating system, but + currently still have to use the TM symbol when using it + on apparel and other non-operating-system items. We continued + reviewing requests and granting permission to use &os; + trademarks.

+ +

After finishing the 10.0-RELEASE, Foundation system + administrator and release engineer &a.gjb; began work on adding + support for &os;/arm image builds as part of the release build + process. As result of this work, &os;/arm images are produced + as part of the weekly development snapshot builds, and available + from any of the &os; FTP mirrors. Supported kernel + configurations currently include BEAGLEBONE, + RPI-B, PANDABOARD, WANDBOARD-QUAD, + and ZEDBOARD.

+ +

George visited six large &os; users in the Bay Area in + February. These meetings are conducted to help facilitate + collaboration between &os; customers and the &os; Project. It + is an opportunity to exchange information on what the customers + are doing and what is being worked on in the Project. It is + also an opportunity to try to connect customers with the + appropriate &os; developers who may be working on areas of &os; + that interest these customers.
