+      <p>The &os; GNOME Team maintains the GNOME, MATE, and
+	CINNAMON  desktop environments and graphical user interfaces for
+	&os;.  GNOME 3 is part of the GNU Project.  MATE is a fork of
+	the GNOME 2 desktop.  CINNAMON is a desktop environment using
+	GNOME 3 technologies but with a GNOME 2 look and feel.</p>
+
+      <p>At the end of this quarter we updated GNOME and CINNAMON
+	to the latest versions on their branches, 3.14 and 2.4,
+	respectively.</p>
+
+      <p>GNOME 3.16 was released February 25th; we ported it to
+	&os;.  There are still some showstopper problems that showed up.
+	During testing of the current versions of the 3.16 ports a bug
+	in pkg was uncovered in the multiple repository support, and
+	swiftly fixed in pkg 1.4.99.15.</p>
+
+      <p>For the GNOME 3.18 cycle we going to work closely with
+	the x11 team on porting libinput and testing Wayland.  When that
+	is done we need to see if we want to enable Wayland for our
+	stable releases and we probably need XWayland from
+	<tt>xorg-server</tt> 1.16+ to support X applications.  The
+	estimate is that Wayland arriving in ports will have to wait
+	until 8.4-Release is EOL.</p>
