+      <p>Several important ports were updated: Mesa to 11.0.8, the
+	X.Org server to 1.17.4, libdrm to 2.4.65, as well as many
+	applications and libraries.  The latest release of the X.Org
+	server, 1.18, is being tested in our Ports development tree.</p>
+
+      <p>On the kernel side, the i915 update is almost ready to
+	land.  There are a couple known regressions for currently
+	supported GPUs that we want to fix before committing.</p>
+
+      <p>We started a discussion on the FreeBSD-x11@ mailing list to
+	organize future contributions to the kernel drivers.  We have
+	already received some valuable comments.  We are confident that
+	future updates will happen at a faster pace, thanks to several
+	motivated people!</p>
+
+      <p>FOSDEM is held in Brussels on the 30th and 31st of January.
+	We will attend this conference.  It will be a perfect time to see
+	people again from &os; and from the XDC.  On Sunday, we will give
+	a talk about how to contribute to the Graphics Stack.</p>
+
+      <p>Our blog is currently down because the service was
+	discontinued.  We hope to get a dump of our data to put it back
+	online elsewhere.  Unfortunately, there is no ETA for this
+	item.</p>
