### AI overview

PINE64 explains the pause in its community updates, announces that the Pine Store now accepts USD Coin payments through Coinbase, and invites the community to a meetup in Warsaw.

### Source excerpt

Welcome to our long-awaited community post, where we aim to address the most commonly asked question while also unveiling some more news. Let's get started! Why hasn't there been a community update for the past few months? Is PINE64 dead? As you may have noticed, there haven't been any community updates as of late, and we are sorry for the prolonged silence. This isn't because the community hasn't been busy, quite the opposite is true. Instead, the problem is that the usual community update authors are too busy with their daily jobs and other tasks around the community. Although thanks to some community members who have shown interest to participate, we are working on a new community update and we hope we will publish it soon! Pine Store now accepts payments in cryptocurrency. The community has consistently expressed interest in paying on the Pine Store with cryptocurrency, and despite several previous attempts to find a suitable crypto payment service, the process has proven challenging, leading to eventual failure. However, we are happy to announce that Pine Store now facilitates payments using USD Coin cryptocurrency via Coinbase! Talk to us at our upcoming community meetup in Warsaw! We always attempt to meet in person at least twice a year. For reasons that ought to be obvious to everyone, this wasn't possible these past few years, but now that travel is once again viable we're returning to a bi-annual meetup schedule. We always meet at FOSDEM in February followed by a meeting halfway through the calendar year. While FOSDEM primarily serves the function of interacting with the broader Linux community and members of other projects as well as product announcements, the second yearly meetup aims at evaluating the project's progress, identifying issues, and creating a roadmap for the coming months. This year we're holding the second meetup in Warsaw. TL, Ayufan, Lukasz, and I will be having lunch in Hala Gwardii on Sunday, August 20th at noon. The place offers a wi
