### AI overview

This PINE64 community update covers PineTab2 pricing and SKU variants, the expected availability of Star64, recent PinePhone development, and other community, store, hardware, software, and firmware updates.

### Source excerpt

Let me start by apologizing to everyone for skipping yet another monthly community update. This has largely been my fault as I was rather busy in January and following FOSDEM at the start of February I found myself occupied with things related to the EU store. I hope for things to go back to normal now; you can expect future community updates at the end of each month as per usual. Again, I apologise, mea culpa. I hope that this month's update and the news it brings will more than make up for the wait: the Nestflash section is absolutely packed this month, we're revealing PineTab2's pricing and SKU variants (both of which I'm sure you'll be pleased with), announcing that Star64 will be available in the next 6 weeks (or so) and report on all the work that has gone into PinePhone (Pros) development in the recent two months ... and much more Let's get to it. You can watch the synopsis of this month's community update on YouTube (embedded below) as well as on Odysee and PeerTube.

### Source excerpt

Hello everyone! This month we're announcing production of the Pinebook Pro resuming and introduction of Quartz64 model-B. I had an opportunity to meet with TL earlier this month, and got some ear-on time with the Pinebuds, so I dedicated a section to my early impressions from the time spent with the prototype. This update also brings news of SOQuartz Blade hostboard production, camera enablement on the PinePhone Pro and a guest write-up by dsimic addressing issues some users have been experiencing with their PinePhone (Pro) keyboards. There is truly a lot to get to this month, so let's get into it. You can watch the synopsis of this month's community update on YouTube (embedded below) as well as on Odysee and PeerTube.

### AI overview

PINE64's February community update reviews the Quartz64 model-A, progress on the PinePhone keyboard, the company's first RISC-V single-board computer, and plans to expand LoRaWAN across the PINE64 ecosystem. It also reports manufacturing and shipping updates, Pinebook Pro production plans, and PinePhone software and modem work.

### Source excerpt

Welcome to this month's community update. As many of you know, we have now entered the Chinese New Year (CNY) period, which means that all manufacturing and related business activities have ground to a halt. It is always a mad rush to complete ongoing work prior to CNY, but now that the festive period is upon us we get a chance to catch our breath and evaluate the progress made. In this month's update we're going to take a close look at the Quartz64 model-A, showcase headway made on the PinePhone keyboard, discuss our first RISC-V single board computer and introduce plans for making LoRaWAN a staple of the PINE64 ecosystem. You can watch the synopsis of this month's community update on Youtube (embedded below) as well as on LBRY and Peertube.

### AI overview

PINE64's December 2019 community update thanks contributors and users, reviews progress across PineTime, PineTab, PinePhone, keyboards, firmware, and other hardware, and previews January updates and FOSDEM 2020 announcements.

### Source excerpt

Welcome to the last community update of the year. I think that 2019 will be remembered as the year PINE64 transitioned from being a relatively niche FOSS hardware project to a mainstream one. This transition is an exciting prospect for all of us involved with PINE64, and we cannot wait to see how the project develops over the next 12 months. Let me take this opportunity to thank those of you whom have been with us thus far: the partner-project developers, community contributors, mods and admins, shipping and assembly teams, and - above all else - the end-users who make this project possible. Thank you for actively shaping PINE64 and making it one of the most vibrant and welcoming communities in the FOSS space. The amount of progress we've made in just one year is incredible and the success is truly collectively ours. Thank you! Here's the TL;DR: Next Community Update January 12th ; Give us some feedback The PineTime is now in the PINE Store ; Great development PineTab early adopter pre-orders likely in January ; New keyboard ; LTE/ SSD adapter Brave Heart PinePhones worked on ; shipping early January ; PinePhone cases ; First phone call ; PinePhone keyboard Continual good reception ; Keyboard / TP firmware update available ; A lot of OSs coming ; regional keyboards ; OG Pinebook upgrade kit likely in January 2020. New announcements at FOSDEM 2020 ; teaser of what's to come next year Happy New Year! Housekeeping I'll try to keep this section short. It's unlikely that I'll be able to publish the next Community Update on 05/01/2020 seeing as I'll be traveling during the Holiday and New Year's period. In other words, I won't have an opportunity to sit down and write the blog until I am back home on January 7th. I feel like the earliest date I can commit to for an update blog entry is 12/01/2020. In the meantime, if some noteworthy or urgent information surface then I'll post ad-hoc updates in the forum news section. Make sure to check it once in a while during the holid
