21 January: In order to make the process of translating FreeBSD's official articles and books more accessible to new contributors, the project is adopting Weblate as its web-based continuous localization platform. This tool has been in use for some months by some of our translation teams (pt_BR, es_ES and zh_CN) and due to the excellent results obtained and the maturity of the workflow adopted, we believe we are ready to open it to new collaborators. With the adoption of this new tool the translation process has become quite simple, and anyone willing to donate a few minutes to the project can contribute to it! If you are interested in contributing to the documentation project by translating official documents you can get more information at our wiki and by reading the announcement sent to freebsd-translators list.

14 February: The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation in Google's 2018 Summer of Code program, which funds summer students to participate in open source projects. This will be the FreeBSD Project's fourteenth year in the program, having mentored over 210 successful students through summer-long coding projects between 2005 and 2017. Past successful projects have included improvements to Linux ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing, FUSE file system support, and countless other projects. Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well as participating in FreeBSD developer events around the world through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation. Prospective participants are invited to apply; more information is available, including proposal and deadline information, on the FreeBSD Summer Projects page.

19 June: FreeBSD celebrated its 20th birthday today. On June 19, 1993, Jordan Hubbard, Rod Grimes, and David Greenman announced to the world the creation of their new fork of the BSD 4.3 operating system. FreeBSD was derived from the 386BSD 0.1 release from Bill and Lynne Jolitz with its 1.0 release in Nov 1993. Its stated goals were to create a fast, stable, reliable server OS for i386 systems. Since then, it has become the backbone of countless products and has grown to supporting 64bit computing, embedded devices, and desktop users.

10 January: The development of FreeBSD ports is done in Subversion nowadays. By February 28th 2013, the FreeBSD ports tree will no longer be exported to CVS. Therefore ports tree updates via CVS, CVSup or csup(1) will no longer be available after that date. All users who use CVS, CVSup or csup(1) to update the ports tree are encouraged to switch to portsnap(8) or for users which need more control over their ports collection checkout, use Subversion directly. More information are available in the announcement mail on the FreeBSD ports announce mailing list. A migration guide from CVSup or csup(1) to portsnap(8) is also available in the FreeBSD Handbook.

7 September: The second BETA build for the FreeBSD -9.0 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the architectures amd64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 are available on most of our FreeBSD mirror sites. One of the many new features in 9.0 we would like to be tested is the new installer, so we encourage our users to do fresh installation on test systems.

27 March: The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation In Google's 2011 Summer of Code program, which funds summer students to participate in open source projects. This will be the FreeBSD Project's seventh year in the program, having mentored over 100 successful students through summer-long coding projects between 2005 and 2010. Past successful projects have included improvements to Linux ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing, FUSE file system support, and countless other projects. Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well as participating in FreeBSD developer events around the world through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation. Prospective participants are invited to apply; more information is available, including proposal and deadline information, on the FreeBSD Summer Projects page.

24 May: The FreeBSD Project again received many high quality applications from students participating in Google's Summer of Code program. This year 18 student proposals to work with the FreeBSD Project were accepted as part of this program. For those with projects that were not accepted this year, we'd like to note that the FreeBSD Project is always willing to help mentor students so they can learn more about operating system development through our normal community mailing lists and development forums. Please read the official announcement for more information. The complete list of student projects selected for funding can be found in the FreeBSD Summer of Code wiki. Coding started on May 24, so please join us in welcoming the 18 new students to our community.
