+      <p>The KDE/&os; Team have continued to improve the experience of
+	KDE software and Qt under &os;.  During this quarter, the team
+	has kept most of the KDE and Qt ports up-to-date, working on the
+	following releases:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>KDE SC: 4.10.2, 4.10.3, 4.10.4</li>
+	<li>Qt: 5.0.2 (area51)</li>
+	<li>PyQt: 4.10.2; QScintilla 2.7.2; SIP: 4.14.7</li>
+	<li>KDevelop: 4.5.1</li>
+	<li>Calligra: 2.6.2</li>
+	<li>CMake: 2.8.11.1</li>
+	<li>Digikam (and KIPI-plugins): 3.1.0, 3.2.0 </li>
+	<li>KDE Telepathy: 0.6.0, 0.6.1</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>As a result — according to <a
+	  href="http://portscout.freebsd.org/kde@freebsd.org.html">PortScout</a>
+	— <tt>kde@</tt> has 473 ports (up from 431), of which
+	98.73% are up-to-date (up from 93.5%).  iXsystems Inc.
+	continues to provided a machine for the team to build packages
+	and to test updates.  iXsystems Inc. has been providing the
+	KDE/&os; Team with support for quite a long time and we are very
+	grateful for that.  This quarter, we would also like to thank
+	Steve Wills (<tt>swills@</tt>) for providing access to another
+	machine so that we can do our work even faster.</p>
+
+      <p>While a great deal of the team's efforts are focused towards
+	packaging released code, we also take a proactive stand in
+	making sure future versions of the software we port is also
+	going to work well on &os;.  This involves being in close
+	contact with upstream, raising awareness of &os; as an active
+	project and also sending actual patches that most of the time
+	benefit many other operating systems besides &os; itself.  In
+	this regard, we have been dedicating a lot of time making sure
+	both <tt>clang</tt> and <tt>libc++</tt> are fully supported in
+	KDE and Qt.  Not only has this resulted in many patches being
+	sent to these projects, but the exposure to these large code
+	bases have been beneficial to the Clang-on-&os; project as well.
+	Dimitry Andric (<tt>dim@</tt>) has been of great help as a point
+	of contact for all the issues we have faced.</p>
+
+      <p>As usual, the team is always looking for more testers and
+	porters so please contact us at <tt>kde at FreeBSD.org</tt> and
+	visit our home page at <a
+	  href="http://FreeBSD.kde.org">http://FreeBSD.kde.org</a>.  It
+	would be especially useful to have more helping hands on tasks
+	such as getting rid of the dependency on the defunct HAL project
+	and providing integration with KDE's Bluedevil Bluetooth
+	interface.</p>
