Anyone with open commissions who wants to do some #art for NetBSD?

We've got a budget for paying for some concept art and can later talk about working with you on some merch. DM us!

We got around 120 donations in September, it's a lot to sort through. Thanks everyone!

Apparently, we get notifications when people add us to collections now.

Apparently, someone added us to a collection called "Linux Distros & Desktop Environments", which is of course Deeply Unacceptable.

We gain on average 800 new followers per year, but in the last year (since before Linus made the GenAI-code-in-Linux posts) we gained around 1200.

It's great to see the wave of new interest. We're a community that's had 30 years to develop its culture, and things here might work a little bit differently than you expect.

NetBSD 10.2 released. https://blog.NetBSD.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_10_2_released

It's time to say farewell to the legendary netbsd-9 branch with one final release, NetBSD 9.5.

In the meantime, that freshly released NetBSD 11.0 is looking pretty tempting. NetBSD 10.2 will also be released promptly.
