Greetings and Overview: ReactOS Team sends greetings. This year, they start with a summary including ongoing work and new developers. They also discuss symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support.

• Development Team Enlargement: The project team base size hasn't changed much in the last decade. Some core developers became inactive. The team is now enrolling contributors with certain skills for at least a year. 4 new developers have been added: Carl J. Bialorucki, Doug Lyons, Oleg Dubinskiy, and Whindmar Saksit.
• Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Support Status & GCC 13 preparations: Timo Kreuzer is improving SMP support for AMD64 architecture. He implemented processor freezing and switching and basic IPI support. The kernel initialization in AMD64 build architecture was revamped. Jackson Bryn and Simone Mario Lombardo started investigations for GCC 13, and Timo tackled bugs. Justin Miller is focusing on x86 SMP support. SMP is still under development, and there is no exact estimate when multi-core support will be ready.
• User-mode WINE modules syncing: Timo, Justin, and others are syncing user-mode modules with WINE. Updating these components improves stability and functionality. Some early experiments show improved application compatibility.
• Asynchronous network connection support: ReactOS supports basic networking with MSAFD API, which is blocking. Thamatip Chitpong is working on asynchronous networking support to fix issues like WSPConnect. This improves network reliability of applications.
• Audio improvements: Oleg Dubinskiy made major audio subsystem improvements. He implemented handling modern audio formats, high sample rates, and more than two output channels. He also added looped wave playback. His future plan is to further improve the audio stack.
• New ATA storage driver bringup: ReactOS uses UniATA driver for ATA/SATA. It has bugs, and Dmitry Borisov is implementing a new PnP-aware ATA driver for PATA and AHCI devices to improve system stability and fix bugs.
