Thanks Charles,
Yes I've been busy to say the least. One thing that is exciting is that
we now have an accessible image for the raspberry pi using the Mate
desktop based off of
Arch. I know Mike has een working on something like this for a while so
if he wants to compare notes we can let him know what we did to get it
running. We should have this image up for download on the Sonar website
next week. Also the final release of Sonar should be out next week.
