New FreeBSD Core Team Elected

Dear FreeBSD Community,

The FreeBSD project is pleased to announce that the 2026 FreeBSD Core
Team election has concluded, and the following nine members now take
office as the fourteenth Core Team:

Warner Losh (imp),
Baptiste Daroussin (bapt),
Gleb Smirnoff (glebius),
Kyle Evans (kevans),
Adrian Chadd (adrian),
Joseph Mingrone (jrm),
Hiroki Sato (hrs),
Adam Weinberger (adamw), and
Olivier Cochard (olivier)

This year, the election also included a vote to amend the project's bylaws.
This motion also passed, with the new bylaws tentatively taking effect
as of the 2028 election at the discretion of the incoming core team.  The
new core team needs time to work out the details of a smooth transition
between the two bylaws and will share the plan shortly.  The new text has
been published below the currently active bylaws at
https://www.freebsd.org/internal/bylaws/.

Let's extend our gratitude to the outgoing core.13 members for their
service in the last two-year term:

  Li-Wen Hsu (lwhsu),
  Allan Jude (allanjude),
  Tobias C. Berner (tcberner),
  Dave Cottlehuber (dch), and
  Mathieu Arnold (mat),

and also to Dag-Erling Smørgrav (des) for running a flawless election.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans (on behalf of core.14)
