+
+The FreeBSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to advancing FreeBSD through both technical and non-technical support.
+Funded entirely by donations, the Foundation supports software development, infrastructure, security, and collaboration efforts; organizes events and developer summits; provides educational resources; and represents the FreeBSD Project in legal matters.
+
+==== OS Improvements
+
+Throughout the quarter, there were 451 `src`, 71 `ports`, and 25 `doc` commits sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation.
+
+Refer to the following report entries describing much of that committed development work:
+
+* <<_suspendresume_improvement,Suspend/Resume Improvements>>
+* <<_linuxkpi_802_11_and_native_wireless_update,LinuxKPI 802.11 and Native Wireless Update>>
+* <<_audio_stack_improvements,Audio Stack Improvements>>
+* <<_improve_openjdk_on_freebsd,Improve OpenJDK on FreeBSD>>
+* <<_sylvea_unified_system_management_platform_for_freebsd,Sylve -- A Unified System Management Platform for FreeBSD>>
+* <<_support_for_installing_pkgbase_systems,Support for Installing pkgbase Systems>>
+* <<_drm_drivers,DRM drivers>>
+* <<_alpha_omega_beach_cleaning_project,Alpha-Omega Beach Cleaning Project>>
+* <<_improve_libvirt_support_for_bhyve_hypervisor,Improve libvirt Support for bhyve Hypervisor>>
+* <<_sta_work_package_c_cicd_automation,STA Work Package C: CI/CD Automation>>
+* <<_usb_kernel_debugging_improvements, USB Kernel Debugging Improvements>>

+* <<_process_credentials_groups_related_changes_in_freebsd_15,Process Credentials' Groups-Related Changes in FreeBSD 15>>
+
+Other highlights include:
+
+* Improved virtual memory scalability, allowing multiple processes to load shared libraries in parallel.
+* Greater UFS reliability on very large filesystems (with more than 2 billion inodes).
+* Support for systems with over 4 TB of RAM, including a reworked Kernel Virtual Address (KVA) layout tailored for the 57-bit address space (LA57) architecture.
+* Kqueue inheritance across `fork()`.
+* A new safeguard (`noshutdown`) to help prevent accidental system shutdown.
+* Simplified and more reliable filesystem rename operations.
+* A fix for amd64 pmap panics under low-memory conditions.
+* Numerous fixes for race conditions in timeout handling.
+* A new EXTERROR(9) interface, standardizing how external applications can report detailed error information.
+
+The Foundation also continued to support two major initiatives: the Laptop Support and Usability project (in collaboration with link:https://www.ql-research.com/[Quantum Leap Research]) and an <<_infrastructure_modernization,infrastructure modernization project>> commissioned by the link:https://www.sovereign.tech/[Sovereign Tech Agency].
+For background on both efforts, see the link:https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2025-01-2025-03/#_freebsd_foundation[2025Q1 quarterly status report].
+
+FreeBSD, under the management of the Foundation, participated in its 21st consecutive link:https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/[Google Summer of Code (GSoC)] program.
+All link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects[twelve projects] were successfully completed.
+
+Four of those GSoC participants contributed report entries:
+
+* <<_acpi_lua_bindings,ACPI Lua Bindings>>
+* <<_sockstat_ui_improvements,Sockstat UI Improvements>>
+* <<_geomman_release,Geomman Release>>
+* <<_mac_do4_and_mdo1_improvements,mac_do(4) and mdo(1) Improvements>>
+
+==== Advocacy
+
+Advocacy work in the 3rd quarter of 2025 included representing FreeBSD at open source events, producing more technical tutorials and working on the upcoming November 2025 FreeBSD Vendor Summit.
+Take a look at just a few of the ways the Foundation helped advocate for FreeBSD in Q3 of 2025:
