+During this quarter, we made significant progress in engaging with commercial FreeBSD users.
 To enhance our partnerships with existing and potential commercial users, we hired Greg Wallace as the Director of Partnerships and Research.
 His primary objective is to expand our collaborations with commercial users.
 Since assuming this position, Greg has hit the ground running, meeting with numerous companies in just one quarter.
 These interactions have provided valuable insights into how FreeBSD is being utilized, the challenges faced by users, and areas where the Project can improve.
 By understanding these aspects, we can make informed decisions on where to allocate our funding and recognize FreeBSD's unique strengths.
 Additionally, the role involves conducting research to identify target markets, explore new opportunities for FreeBSD, and ensure our voice is heard in relevant discussions.
