The FreeBSD Ports Management Team is pleased to announce Thomas Abthorpe has assumed the role of Ports Management Team Secretary.

badger.foo writes “The OpenBSD 4.7 pre-orders are up. That means the release is done, sent off to CD production, and snapshots will turn -current again. Order now and you more likely than not will have your CD set, T-shirt or other cool stuff before the official release date. You get the chance to support the most important free software project on the planet, and get your hands on some cool playables and wearables early. The release page is still being filled in, but the changelog has detailed information about the goodies in this release.”
