A lighter week for commits probably because of the U.S. holiday, but still plenty of things to link.

• Gabor Pali is this week’s ‘Faces of FreeBSD‘.
• The DiscoverBSD weekly BSD summary.
• There will be a FreeBSD Journal, though I see no mention on the Foundation site yet.
• There’s a ruBSD conference on December 14th, in Moscow.  Undeadly has a page about it, and there’s the translation, if you feel lucky.
• BSDCan needs volunteers.
• Because FreeBSD is using the pre-GPL3 version of GCC, Google’s patches for Android (since that environment is apparently avoiding GPL3 too) have been brought in.
• FreeBSD has updated to svn 1.8.5.
• OpenBSD has updated NSD to 4.0.
• NetBSD has updated mpc. mpfr, and gmp.
• NetBSD has moved from pppd to ppp.
• FreeBSD is dropping 32-bit binary support, for reasons.  But maybe not?
• Is it time to dump Linux and move to BSD?  Yes, of course.
