+
+FreeBSD Cluster Administration Team members are responsible for managing the machines the Project relies on to synchronize its distributed work and communications.
+
+In this quarter, the team has worked on the following:
+
+* Regular support for FreeBSD.org user accounts.
+* Regular disk and parts support (and replacement) for all physical hosts and mirrors.
+* Enable mirroring of link:https://www.FreeBSD.org[] and link:https://docs.FreeBSD.org[] in the FreeBSD project-managed mirrors.
+* Cluster refresh, upgrading all hosts and jails to the most recent versions of 15-CURRENT, 14-STABLE, 13-STABLE, and 12-STABLE.
+* Begin sunsetting 12-STABLE infrastructure as the branch approaches its end of life.
+
+In addition to these projects, with link:https://www.modirum.com[Modirum] generously link:https://github.com/sponsors/ppaeps/[sponsoring Philip's time] for most of October, we were able to bring pkgbase into "preview" production in time for 14.0-RELEASE in November.
+
+We also installed a new European mirror site in Sjöbo, Sweden, sponsored by Teleservice Skåne AB.
+Traffic in Europe is now directed roughly equally between our existing mirror in Frankfurt (sponsored by Equinix) and the new mirror in Sweden.
+After well over ten years in service, we plan to decommission our mirror site in the UK during first quarter of 2024.
+We would like to thank link:https://www.bytemark.co.uk/[Bytemark Hosting] for supporting this mirror for all this time.
+
+Next quarter, supported by the FreeBSD Foundation, we plan to bring up a new primary cluster site in Chicago.
+
+==== FreeBSD Official Mirrors Overview
