Dear IOTA Community,

A week ago we released a long-awaited update to the Trinity development schedule. There we suggested that the alpha of the desktop application could be released within 2 weeks (6 days from now, if we want to be pedantic).

We also promised increased transparency regarding the build.

I would like to preface this announcement by telling you that the devs have been working around the clock to get a working alpha build ready in this time frame. Credit in particular to iota.dance (a long standing community developer) who has grabbed the bull by the horns, leading desktop development and pulling all-nighters in a bid to keep to this schedule.
