FreeBSD Status Report: October – December 2008

The FreeBSD 2008 Quarterly Status Report is now available (Oct – Nov):

This quarter included some very exciting work including the release of FreeBSD 6.4 and the much anticipated release of FreeBSD 7.1. We also launched our own official FreeBSD Forums. The first Bugathon of the year will be held this weekend, see below for more information and how to participate.
