+
+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.
+* Cluster software refresh.
+* Moving more cluster services to Chicago.
+* Supporting the Grimoirelab dashboard effort.
+
+==== Cluster software refresh
+
+Except for the package builders and developer-facing ("dogfood") machines, the FreeBSD cluster mostly tracks stable/X branches.
+
+At the time of this writing, there are 131 physical machines in the cluster.
+We have 54 machines on current, 61 on stable/14 and 14 on stable/13.
+Work continues to upgrade the remaining stable/13 machines to stable/14.
+The stable/12 machines have been slated for decommissioning for a while; they do not run production workloads.
+The remaining machines are slated for upgrading or decommissioning in the near future.
+
+Of the 297 jails in the cluster, 222 are now on stable/14.

+
+==== Moving cluster services to Chicago
+
+Earlier this year, we started building up our new site in Chicago.
+This quarter, we began decommissioning older machines in New Jersey and moving services to the newer machines in Chicago.
+Our long-term goal is for Chicago to become our primary location.
+This work will take several more months to complete.
+
+==== FreeBSD Official Mirrors Overview
+
+Current locations are Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan (two full mirror sites), Malaysia, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom (full mirror site), United States of America -- California, Chicago, New Jersey (primary site), and Washington.
+
+Our mirror site in Taiwan is experiencing an extended outage.
+We hope to have it back online during the first quarter of 2025.
+
+Also during the first quarter of 2025, we expect a second mirror site in California, generously hosted by link:https://sonic.net[Sonic].

+New official mirrors are always welcome.
+We have noted the benefits of hosting single mirrors at Internet Exchange Points globally, as evidenced by our existing mirrors in Australia, Brazil, and South Africa.
+If you are affiliated with or know of any organizations willing to sponsor a single mirror server, please contact us.
+We are particularly interested in locations on the United States West Coast and throughout Europe.
