Enter praise things...

Hi folks,

Soon the promising sunny summer even though it is a bit hard to believe here with days going on with rain :-)

Does not mean nothing happen, quite the contrary ...
First noticeable things, the famous FreeBSD Quarterly report, notably you can hardly say FreeBSD and desktop does not go together, as you can see KDE and GNOME are still evolving. What parts interest me the most is the kernel fuzzing, it definitely helps getting better quality, fixing bugs we would not spot otherwise, which benefits everyone for sure. Awaiting patiently the BSDCan 2019 resources
And also the C runtime change, especially mentioning the well known libpthread issues (brought its share of issues for LLVM work for example) so I am hopeful things will evolve for the best and put these headaches behind. Otherwise awaiting patiently BSDCan 2019 material. And oh, I almost forgot the BSDNow episode 300  ... does not happen every day and the content is pretty nice !

In my side, did not do much of video games contribution more enterprise at large, python, aimed for the next 3.8 release (the NetBSD part might get merged soon-ish) and for the first time openjdk when I try to improve the BSD support in general (starting modestly with FreeBSD for now) ... I ll try to go further in the near future. There are still my little change for the cassandra C++ driver awaiting but that's their usual pace, I am used to it, the review will occur when they see fit.
