+      <p>This quarter, the bugmeister team has gained a new member,
+	Mahdi Mokhtari (mokhi64 at gmail.com).  Mahdi has been contributing
+	to the &os; Project for just over one month.  After getting
+	started by creating ports for Chef-Server and MySQL 5.7 (With
+	Bernard Spil's help), an introduction to to &a.koobs; led to
+	guidance on appropriate projects, such as Bugzilla development,
+	helping Bugmeister, the Bugzilla Triage team, Developers, and the
+	Community by making issue tracking better.  This is how things are
+	going so far:</p>
+
+      <p>Issue Tracking can be either "Defect Tracking for
+	Systems" or "Bug-Tracking for Systems".  System
+	Defect Tracking is to allow individual or groups of developers to
+	keep track of outstanding issues in their product effectively.  We
+	use Bugzilla to manage issues for the &os; project.  </p>
+
+      <p>We are pleased to announce some developments on our issue
+	management systems:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>We have made improvements to the AutoAssigner module
+	  (not yet deployed) that was previousely developed by Marcus to
+	  assign ports' bugs to their maintainers by default, such as:
+
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>Improvements and bugfixes to port detection in
+	      the Summary: field of issues, for automatic assignment
+	      to their maintainers in a better way.</li>
+
+	    <li>Refactoring code to make future development easier
+	      and faster in a more modular way.</li>
+	  </ul>
+	</li>
+
+	<li>We have developed a new module (FBSDAttachment), which
+	  automates setting maintainer-approval flag values on attachments
+	  under most conditions.  This will improve time to resolution,
+	  consistency of triage, and save manual effort on behalf of
+	  triagers and maintainers.</li>
+
+	<li>We reported and upstreamed a number of bugs in Bugzilla, working
+	  with the upstream Bugzilla developers.</li>
+      </ul>

+	<p>Major improvements to templates for usability and
+	  simplicity.</p>
+      </task>
+
+      <task>
+	<p>Further improvements to automation (for example,
+	  additional processing of commit logs).</p>
