+      <p>The Jenkins Continuous Integration and Testing
+	project has been helping to improve the quality of &os;.
+	Since the last status report, we have quickly found commits
+	which caused build breakage or test failures.  &os; developers
+	saw these problems and quickly fixed them.  Some of the
+	highlights include:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li><p>Ahmed Kamal agreed to join the jenkins-admin
+	    team.  Even though he is not a &os; committer, he is
+	    subscribed the the jenkins-admin alias, and is contributing
+	    code via GitHub.  Ahmed has contributed mutiple SaltStack
+	    scripts which are in the freebsd-ci GitHub repository.  Ahmed
+	    has also found multiple bugs in SaltStack's &os; support.  He
+	    has fixed these bugs and pushed them back to SaltStack via
+	    GitHub pull requests.</p>
+	  <p>Ahmed is a software developer who lives in
+	    Cairo, Egypt.  He presently works for Cloud9ers, a cloud and
+	    devops consulting firm.  In the past, he has worked for
+	    Canonical as the Ubuntu Cloud and Server community liaison.</p>
+	  <p>Ahmed found out about the Request for Help sent
+	    out by &a.rodrigc; for help with Jenkins in &os; via a random
+	    web search.  Ahmed found &os; to be a very nice project, and
+	    was eager to volunteer and help out, and responded to the
+	    Request.  Ahmed will attend BSDCan, where he will learn more
+	    about the BSD Community.</p>
+        </li>
+
+	<li>&a.jmmv; extended Kyua to support executing test
+	  cases in parallel.  This should help the scaling of testing in
+	  environments with thousands of test cases.</li>
+
+	<li>&a.rodrigc; got a commit bit to the Jenkins
+	  Multiple SCM's plugin, and committed fixes to that plugin to
+	  help it work with Subversion 1.8 </li>
+
+	<li>&a.rodrigc; worked with &a.dim; in the
+	  freebsd-toolchain team to help identify and fix several
+	  compilation problems in the &os; src tree when using GCC 4.9.
+	  This work will help with the External Toolcain project.</li>
