 This quarter we helped FreeBSD celebrate its 30th anniversary!
 This excitement has propelled us to accelerate our efforts to move FreeBSD forward in growth and innovation, which has focused us on identifying key areas we can invest our resources.
 At our board meeting in September, we refined our goals to focus on increasing FreeBSD adoption and visibility, diversifying our funding stream, and investing in the community health and long-term stability of the Project.
-We are in the process of identifying the key audiences and markets we are targeting, while putting measurable outcomes to these goals.

 More than half of our budget is allocated toward work directly related to improving FreeBSD and keeping it secure.
 By providing a dedicated individual focused on partnerships, we can effectively emphasize the significance of investing in our efforts and underscore the long-term viability of FreeBSD to companies.
 Your support is crucial to our mission, and we deeply appreciate your commitment to the FreeBSD community.

 ==== Partnerships and Research
 
 For Partnerships and Research this quarter, progress was made in three key areas:
 
-First, the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/EnterpriseWorkingGroup[Enterprise working group] started to gather steam with growth up to 58 participants and active projects in four work streams.
-These are Cloud Native, Samba, bhyve manageability, and support for AI workloads.

+These are cloud native, Samba, bhyve manageability, and support for AI workloads.
 There is interest in several additional areas and I expect that by the end of this year and Q1 of next year, we will see meaningful feature updates in multiple areas of focus.
 
 Second, we made good progress working with other open source community members and organizations, notably the link:https://opensource.org/[Open Source Initiative], to advance proposals and technology from the FreeBSD community.
 Working with the Open Source Initiative’s link:https://opensource.org/programs/open-policy-alliance/[Open Policy Alliance], we are submitting a response to the US government's request for information on how the US government can support open source security and sustainability.
-As part of this, Greg Wallace participated on a panel organized by the Open Policy Alliance at the recent All Things Open conference in Raleigh North Carolina.

 These events can be BSD-related, open source, or technology events geared towards underrepresented groups.
 We support the FreeBSD-focused events to help provide a venue for sharing knowledge, working together on projects, and facilitating collaboration between developers and commercial users.
 This all helps provide a healthy ecosystem. We support the non-FreeBSD events to promote and raise awareness of FreeBSD, to increase the use of FreeBSD in different applications, and to recruit more contributors to the Project.
-We continue to add new events to our yearly roster. This July, we held a workshop and staffed a table at FOSSY, a new open source conference in Portland.
