It's been a long time since a proper community update, but rest assured a "full size update" update is coming sometime in April (Charlie the Pinecorn returns!). We are still planning to migrate to Codeberg for primary git hosting and committing to the move from mediawiki to our documentation site created by community member Funeral. We hope to make this happen sometime this year. And a message to the team over at Genode, yes I did read your book :) - Caffeine What happened at FOSDEM 2026 FOSDEM 2026 was a very productive meetup for members of the PINE64 Community, aside from the occasional shenanigans. We had the opportunity to work on the PineVoice (formally PineVox) and PineTime Pro in person which helped push forward bring-up. There were additional discussions on potential new products and the effect of the DRAM chip shortage. Demos PineNote The PineNote was shown off at FOSDEM with a few demos featuring hrdl's Arch image and a pre-release image of QuillOS using hrdl's kernel tree. With a massive thanks to Tom.K, Phantomas and hrdl for staying around and helping demo with his PineNote. Some demos included smoothly playing videos, playing doom (you had to be there to believe it!) along with its capabilities as an actual ebook reader. PineTab 2 Danct12 put together an image for FOSDEM with camera and support for h264 video decoding. The demo also included a copy of big buck bunny and a razor1911 demo. DRAM shortage impact Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the Pinetab2, PineNote and PinePhone. PineStore founder TL Lim has stated that he doesn't wish to increase the price
