It's time to participate in the @playdate Community Census 2024!
It's been almost two years since our last census, and The #Playdate Squad is excited to conduct another one.
It is an excellent way to learn more about who is in our community, how they use their devices, and what they would like to see in the future!

Is there anyone in the #linuxmobile community with some experience in (or motivation to learn) #openmp (or something similar) who'd be willing to help a bit with a patch of mine for the #libcamera softwareISP? It's an important piece of sw that allows us to use "complex" cameras even when we don't have ISP drivers.
The patch I started already shows promising results on e.g. the #librem5, however I could use some help getting it into a mergable state :)
