In the fourth quarter of 2023, we worked with the project contributors and developers to address their testing requirements.
Concurrently, we collaborated with external projects and companies to enhance their products by testing more on FreeBSD.

Important completed tasks:

* Adding job to build amd64 architecture with GCC 13 (thanks jhb@)
* Adding powerpc64le jobs config for stable-14 (thanks alfredo@)
* Updating the build env of jobs of main and stable/14 branches to 14.0-RELEASE

Work in progress tasks:

* Designing and implementing pre-commit CI building and testing and pull/merged-request based system (to support the link:https://gitlab.com/bsdimp/freebsd-workflow[workflow working group])
** Proof of concept system is in progress
* Designing and implementing use of CI cluster to build release artifacts as release engineering does, starting with snapshot builds
* Simplifying CI/test environment setting up for contributors and developers
* Setting up the CI stage environment and putting the experimental jobs on it
* Redesigning the hardware test lab and adding more hardware for testing
