⇒ FreeBSD Graphics Port Upgraded to Linux 6.12
Graphics support in FreeBSD has reached a milestone with the drm-kmod port now including the Linux 6.12 (LTS) graphics driver. This version of the port works with FreeBSD 15.1 onwards.
The update marks an important upgrade in graphics in both functionality and security because it means that new versions of FreeBSD now benefit from sharing drivers with a newer LTS (Long Term Support) version of Linux. 6.12 is also the newest available version that is targeted for SLTS (super long term support) to 2036 via the CIP program.
⇒ FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE Announcement
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE. This is the second release of the stable/15 branch.

@grahamperrin me too!
PS: Making OpenBSD, FreeBSD's dog, into that—I'd say, “That's a bit risky”; some people aren't going to like it!

⇒ Represent FreeBSD in Your Community
Teaching others about FreeBSD and helping it grow doesn’t require a developer background — it just takes someone willing to show up and talk about why this project matters. Whether that’s presenting at a local meetup or bringing FreeBSD into a classroom, community advocacy is one of the most effective ways we grow the project.

⇒ BSDCan 2026 Trip Report – ShengYi Hung
I’m really grateful to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring my trip to BSDCan 2026 in Ottawa. The conference ran for four days — two days of DevSummit, then two days of the main conference, with many interesting talks throughout. For me, it’s mainly a chance to talk with developers I don’t otherwise get to reach in day-to-day work. This was my third time attending, and I was happy to be back again.
⇒ BSDCan 2026 Travel Report – Patrick McEvoy
The June 2026 FreeBSD DevSummit & BSDCan was again successfully recorded and streamed through longtime streaming sponsor ScaleEngine. The requested DevSummit 2 question microphone system kept our running around to a minimum and fit the two rows of DMS1160. We got to see CheriBSD hardware again, in fact, Brooks Davis presented from a CheriBSD box. This year, the DevSummit focused more on AI integration than in previous years. Community member Warner Losh, in particular, gave an interesting talk about how he has used AI to help resolve an issue he was facing. I will refer you to the video posted to the FreeBSD YouTube channel for more details.

This year, I had the great privilege of receiving the FreeBSD Foundation travel grant to attend BSDCan.

From his report:
I have 4 days of videos to edit and post to the web.
I guess, they'll appear in YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@BsdcanOrg/videos.
