+      <p>The &os; Ports collection is a package management system for
+	the &os; operating system, providing an easy and consistent way of
+	installing software packages.  The &os; Ports Collection now
+	contains approximately 24,500 ports, while the PR count exceeds
+	1,900.</p>
+
+      <p>The &os; Port Management Team ensures that the &os; ports
+	developer community provides a Ports Collection that is
+	functional, stable, up-to-date and full-featured.  Its secondary
+	responsibility is to coordinate among the committers and
+	developers who work on it.  As part of these efforts, we added 3
+	new committers, took in 3 commit bits for safe keeping, and
+	reinstated 1 commit bit in the fourth quarter of 2013.</p>
+
+      <p>Ongoing effort went into testing larger changes, as many as 8 a
+	week, including sweeping changes to the tree, moderization of
+	the infrastructure, and basic quality assurance (QA) runs.  Many
+	iterations of <tt>10.0-RELEASE</tt> tests were run to ensure the
+	maximum amount of packages would be available for the
+	release.</p>
+
+      <p>We now have <tt>pkg(8)</tt> packages for the releases 8.3, 8.4,
+	9.1, 9.2, 10.0 and -CURRENT on <tt>pkg.FreeBSD.org</tt>.  During
+	this same time, further enhancements were put into
+	<tt>pkg(8)</tt>, including secure package signing.</p>
+
+      <p>Commencing November 1, the Port Management Team undertook a
+	<q>portmgr-lurkers</q> pilot project in which ports committers
+	could volunteer to assist the Port Management Team for a
+	four-month duration.  The first two candiates are Mathieu Arnold
+	(<tt>mat</tt>) and Antoine Brodin (<tt>antoine</tt>).</p>
+
+      <p>Ongoing maintainence goes into <tt>redports.org</tt>, including
+	QAT runs, ports and security updates.</p>
