FreeBSD Project Quarterly Status Report - 3rd Quarter 2017 This quarter's FreeBSD developments continue to provide excitement and promise for further developments. I myself have a soft spot for manual pages, so it is especially good to see that we have gained some documentation for writing them (and I hope that this will translate to more and improved manual pages in the future!). The core@ entry is also of particular note, with the introduction of the FCP process and the recognition of the first non-committer FreeBSD Project Member (and more). Read on to find out more about these, as well as improved support for the AMD Zen family of processors (e.g., Ryzen), and a whole lot more! --Benjamin Kaduk
