We're going to have our quarterly Q&A this Saturday, August 13th at 6:00 PM UTC / 11:00 AM PT. Questions will be taken live from the chats - Discord (q-and-a channel), Telegram (https://www.tg-me.com/pine64QA) and IRC # q-and-a channels. We'll stream to PeerTube, Youtube and be live in the Quarterly Q&A Discord stage. The session will last approx. ~1 hour.

This is our official response to Martijn's blog:

Hello everyone, this month we’re taking a look at the Star64 prototype, check out PinePhone Pro nano SIM redesign, talk about PinePhonePro sound improvements, look at the first moulded PineBuds prototype and the new PineTime Watchmate companion app.
We’ll also be attending KDE’s Akademy this year (which we’re sponsoring) - looking forward to seeing you there!

Due to unexpected events, we need to move the release of the community update to next week. Thanks for understanding.

We are sorry, but we couldn't finish the update this week. So we decided to merge September update with October update, and also we are changing the schedule of the community updates to every 15th day of the month (as before).

Hello everyone, apologies for missing the September update - I hope that the good news we bring this month makes up for it. We’ve attended KDE Akademy and applied for a FOSDEM stall - hope to see you all there. This month we’re announcing the Ox64 RISC-V single board computer in two configurations: $6 and $8, available in November. Star64 now runs Linux and runs it well; the powerful RISC-V board will be available next month. PinePhone Pro receives early camera and power management support, and the keyboard drivers will be supported in kernel 6.1. QuartzPro64 now boots into both BSP and mainline Linux - and runs well I’m told. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! InfiniTime 1.11 has been released for the PineTime. Guest post by JF https://www.pine64.org/2022/10/18/infinitime-1-11/

Big news this weekend. Star64 works with an external GPU thanks to work by Icenowy https://twitter.com/thepine64/status/1583838805433294849

Hi everyone the November update is upon us. This month we bring you three announcements: PineBuds Pro will be available on December 2nd, Ox64 should be available in late November/ early December and Star64 is also likely to become a part of Pine Store’s inventory about the same time. In other news we also showcase some awesome community projects, have a handful of smaller announcements (including Roshambo retro-game case and PineDio gateway) and an update on InfiniTime progress from JF. Enjoy!

Hey all, this is a reminder that the quarterly Q&A starts in an hour. You can head over to the Q&A ( https://www.tg-me.com/pine64QA ) group and ask questions, which we'll answer live. We'll be in the Discord stage, but there will be an option to watch us on Youtube or Peetrube if you prefer to do so. See you soon! [we'll be some 15 min late - sorry about that]

PineBuds Pro wireless earphones and the Ox64 RISC-V single board computer are now available in the Pine Store!

Hello everyone, welcome to the last update of the year. This month we’re introducing the PineTab2 which will be available in two different hardware configurations ( 4GB RAM /64GB & 8GB RAM/128GB flash) at some point after CNY. We discuss recent PinePhone (Pro) software progress and better support for the keyboard case as well as the recent Kali Nethunter Pro launch. Last, but certainly not least, we take a look back at the year 2022 and discuss plans for 2023. The update also includes a very lengthy newsflash section which I’m told many of you enjoy. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Check this out PineTab2 running Debian mainline outputting video to an external monitor. Cool huh?

Hello everyone, this month's update has been delayed and may potentially first be published on Thursday Feb 2nd. The delay has to do with preparations for FOSDEM and some of the things we're planning to showcase in February. Speaking of FOSDEM, we'll do a live stream from the stall on Saturday (Feb 4th) so that those who won't be in attendance can get a gist of the conference. The stream will be live on the PINE64 Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@PINE64inc) -- there will be an announcement when the stream starts.

The FOSDEM 2023 PineTab2 demo is nearly complete. Now with 5GHz WiFi (BES2600) working on mainline #Linux :)

You'll find us in building AW: https://fosdem.org/2023/stands/
