    <p>
      The FreeBSD GNOME Team maintains the GNOME, MATE, and CINNAMON desktop environments and graphical user interfaces for FreeBSD. GNOME 3 is part of the GNU Project. MATE is a fork of the GNOME 2 desktop. CINNAMON is a desktop environment using GNOME 3 technologies but with a GNOME 2 look and feel.
      <p>
      This quarter, due to limited available time there wasn't much progression. This changed in december when work started on porting MATE 1.12 and CINNAMON 2.8 to FreeBSD.
