  * UI mostly done
  * Next step is to use libnm to make connections
 * Feedback from Pioneer users re: apt issue (Danny)
  * Never used SSH before
  * Windows users need to install Putty
  * Issue is now resolved.
  * lessons:
   * continue to improve on testing before new release
   * better documentation for how to resolve issues (e.g. how to do SSH)
    * If we answer a question on the forum, we should ask why the answer wasn't already in the documentation and then modify the documentation.
 * Distrowatch news (Danny)
  * !FreedomBox added to distro list.
  * related: we still want !FreedomBox to get listed in debian installer
 * New network manager: felix freeman (Danny)
  * https://freedomboxfoundation.org/partners/
 * My status update (sunil)
  * https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FreedomBox_for_Communities
  * Perhaps it can be added to the wiki and maybe the landing page
 * Spanish manual
 * Recruiting more developers
  * Our user base has grown but not our developer community
  * can we improve our interaction with first-time developers?
   * developer manual would improve relations
   * refining the ready-for-implementation issues
  * Do we sufficiently advertise the need for contributors?

   * Open RFH bug on wnpp - James to make draft text for bug
 * Hardware updates
  * Olinuxino A64 patches accepted, will go into 5.4 kernel. Release in 6-7 weeks.
  * u-boot patches reviewed and accepted
  * Potential hardware to support:
   * Pine Rock64--we may want to work on providing freedombox support
   * Radxa !RockPi 4
   * hardkernel
   * friendlyARM -- !NanoPi
