+      <p>The KDE on FreeBSD team focuses on packaging and making sure
+	that the experience of KDE and Qt on FreeBSD is as good as
+	possible.</p>
+
+      <p>While the list of updates is shorter compared to the previous
+	quarter, the team remained busy and work on KDE Frameworks 5
+	and Plasma 5 continues.</p>
+
+      <p>This quarter, Tobias Berner, who has been driving our KDE
+	Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 efforts from the beginning, received
+	a KDE commit bit, and has been putting it to good use by
+	upstreaming FreeBSD across several KDE repositories.  Another
+	team highlight in the beginning of this year is the
+	(re)addition of another committer to our experimental
+	repository: Adriaan de Groot, a longtime KDE contributor who
+	also used to work on KDE and FreeBSD almost a decade ago when
+	our team was first formed.  Welcome back, Ade!</p>
+
+      <p>The following big updates were landed in the ports tree this
+	quarter.  In many cases, we have also contributed patches to
+	the upstream projects.</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>CMake 3.4.2 and 3.5.0</li>
+
+	<li>Calligra 2.9.11, the latest release of the integrated work
+	  applications suite.  We have managed to keep in sync with
+	  the upstream releases since 2.9.10.</li>
+
+	<li>KDE Telepathy was updated to 0.9.0 and Telepathy-Qt4 was
+	  updated to 0.9.6.1, the latest upstream releases.</li>
+
+	<li>The Qt 5 ports were finally updated to 5.5.1, which were
+	  the latest stable version at the time.</li>
+
+	<li>The first commit preparing the groundwork for KDE
+	  Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5
+	  <a href="https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/411156">was
+	    landed to the ports tree</a>.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>In our experimental area51 repository, work on Qt 5.6.0 is
+	underway in our experimental repositories.  Additionally, at
+	the time of writing it also contains KDE Frameworks 5.20.0,
+	Plasma 5.6.1 and KDE Applications 16.03.80.</p>
+
+      <p>Users interested in testing those ports are encouraged to
+	follow the instructions in
+	<a href="https://freebsd.kde.org/area51.php">our website</a>
+	and report their results to our mailing list. Qt5 5.6.0 is in
+	our "qt-5.6" branch, and Plasma 5 and the rest is in the
+	"plasma5" branch.</p>
