Greetings Armbian Community! Our Discord community has surpassed the 1000 user mark, which is way beyond our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for everyone who has participated and helped improve our community experience! We are excited to announce that our continuous integration system is slowly getting back into action. We have sorted out versioning and nailed down most critical bugs. Our beta.armbian.com repository is now back with kernel semi-automated updates. We are also working on build framework documentation, and before we put it to the final destination, docs.armbian.com, we would like to invite you to get involved in fast bootstrapping. We would also like to remind you that we are holding developer meetings every Wednesday at 6 pm CET. This is a great opportunity to get involved and contribute to the community. In addition, we are excited to announce that we have enabled GitHub sponsorship. This is a great way to support the development of Armbian and help us continue to improve the project. We were also busy planning for Armbian 23.05 release, and besides finding various agreements on tasks the primary goal of the meeting was to clean the list of supported boards. Latter will also be a topic of today’s developers meeting mentioned earlier. Lastly, we have enabled Google login possibility on our forums, which overnight became the most popular way of registering. We would like to remind you that you are welcome to join us every week at our Armbian community voice chat. Thank you for being a part of the Armbian community. Best regards, The Armbian Team P.S.
