Proposed

@ppannuto proposed a work-in-progress change moving the application stack to the bottom of application memory.

imix

The crowd campaign for imix was unsuccessful, but we’re continuing to fix the remaining bugs. Our most blockig issue has been one where turning on peripheral chips, like the RF233 radio or auditable RNG resulted in brown-outs of the main chip. @shaneleonard and @kwantam have been able to identify the problem and have a fixed revision on the way.

Community

We deployed BotBot (formerly at https://bot.tockos.org) to log our IRC channel. It’s open and public and we’re hoping this makes IRC a more welcoming medium to come talk to us.
