Hi everybody,
I was just doing some random server updates and maintenance when I briefly
looked at the openwrt-packages commits page:

http://projects.qi-hardware.com/p/openwrt-packages/timeline/

4 different people committed directly into openwrt-packages, just yesterday!
That's really fantastic!
kyak, Jiri, David and bartbes - THANKS A LOT!
I know some of you guys were new to OpenWrt, git, the Indefero projects
server (let alone the NanoNote itself) - that makes it even more exciting.
If we continue like this for a while, we might actually succeed in bringing
a really powerful set of software to the NanoNote and future devices. It's
also great news for OpenWrt since we try to upstream as much as possible...
Really cool!

Speaking about server maintenance, I noticed some scary log messages in
the host system, seems one of the mirrored hard disks is failing...

The servers are rsync-mirrored but still, this looks scary and we need to
try to get to the bottom of it soon. Hopefully it will not lead to much,
if any, downtime...
Cheers,
Wolfgang
