The New Year has started and here is the last status report of 2022, including 34 reports. You will also notice that for the first time a new category has been introduced: the Cloud category. As FreeBSD keeps up to date with the latest technologies in IT, projects dealing with the cloud make steady improvements, and thus it has been judged that they deserve their own category in the status reports.

The new category is not the only change about status reports. Indeed, the status team is revisiting its own workflow to become more efficient. If you are a report submitter, please ensure to read carefully the report authored by the status team as well as the next Call for Reports emails to keep up with the most recent changes.

A delegation of the current core team is working together with some members of the previous Core Team to draft a core team charter. There was a face-to-face meeting in the US on December 3 - 4 to discuss the new charter. The delegation will present to the rest of the core team and discuss the details in the first quarter of 2023. The same delegation also had a meeting with the FreeBSD Foundation board on December 5th to discuss the collaboration details.

The core team is working on evaluating Matrix as an instant messaging tool for the project. This will make the project’s communication channels less dependant on third parties. The service will be made available to the FreeBSD community to test and evaluate its validity at a later date.
