Phoronix reports
The inaugural release of ubuntuBSD is now available, which the developers have codenamed "Escape From SystemD". [It] pairs the Ubuntu userspace with the FreeBSD kernel.
... This first ubuntuBSD beta release is based off Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and the FreeBSD 10.1 kernel.
This Ubuntu+FreeBSD operating system ships with the Xfce desktop, is designed for both servers and desktops, and offers complete ZFS file-system support.

N.B.
The ubuntuBSD Web Site link is currently a circular trip back to SourceForge.
[Additional coverage at softpedia. For the impatient/adventuresome here is a direct link to download the latest ISO (893.8 MB ubuntuBSD 15.10~BETA2-amd64.iso). -Ed.]

I hate self-replying but this same topic just hit my RSS feed for the Register (link [theregister.co.uk]), and it quotes one of the UbuntuBSD devs, who said the project owes a lot to the same Debian BSD project I linked to above and thanked them for collaborating to make it possible.
Might have been nice if Phoronix had mentioned that instead of just declaring Debian BSD defunct, but whatever, it's Phoronix; the site's about as reliable as Kotaku most days.
