Greetings All,
Almost a year ago, January 31st exactly, I first emailed Timothy Pearson about helping out with Trinity. I wanted to create an improved website and start contributing. Soon I found that I was I could. This has manifested itself in fixing up some bugs, getting trinity on arch, working on the website, planning meetings - everything here and there and in between. Oh my how a year passes.
I proudly announce whenever the topic arises that I help contribute and develop the traditional desktop. I am so very proud of everyone involved. For a small development team and limited resources, I think everyone is doing an amazing job. We have a dedicated user base that is growing everyday. Trinity is well on it's way to becoming a Linux household name.
Looking back at this year we had some bumps in the road. The release of 3.5.13 was originally scheduled for the first half of the year. Then in June we had a 2 week outage of Tim's servers. We Had a bit of a bumpy (yet successful!) release of 3.5.13 with some mirror problems and we've had to fend off various folks as well as keep the masses calm. But we also release a great product. Trinity Desktop 3.5.13. What a release! It has paved the way for great things to come. We closed a whole host of bugs, and finally have packages available for all of the major distributions, thanks to our dedicated packages. Beta ARM support and other awesome technical feats by timothy have never failed to impress me.
The 3.5.13 release has set us up to put out an even better R14 release, and looking into the next year I foresee greatness! Trinity rising triumphantly out of the ashes of the Linux desktop world, soldering in tablet interfaces and lack of configuration. Like a phoenix out of the ashes! ;)
But seriously, thank you so much to everyone who has contributed! Thank you to Baho and L0ner, my newly found archlinux packages. To Darrell the unrelenting bug reporter, who has helped us work though many an issue. To Laurent who has provided technical help many a time on the lists. To Robert Xu, my good friend and ally, who has helped lament a season of Chemistry and Physics induced headaches. To David Hare, Kate Draven and Dr Nikolaus Klepp who have helped end users needs by answering repeatedly on the trinity-users mailing list. Thank you to everyone I haven't mentioned, there are simply to many.
Most of all I want to pitch my undying support for our tireless leader, Timothy Pearson. His work on Trinity has enabled all of us to come together and move forward. He has guided us through 3 successful releases and will lead us to many more. Tim is an excellent computer programmer and also a amazingly calm and reserved gentleman. Hats of to Tim and a round of applause!
I am so excited for R14, and I'm really excited in the direction we are heading, let's make Trinity the best it can be.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Calvin Morrison
