If you look at the roadmap for our next major ESR (#Thunderbird Supernova, version 115), you'll notice our goal to complete most features is Q4 2022.

That's because we're entering "feature-freeze" by the end of 2022, and then spending several months on polish and refinement.

This should also mean a longer beta-testing period (and yep, we're working hard on official stable and beta #Flatpak channels).

We want Supernova to exceed your expectations. https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/roadmap

If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.

OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.

Thanks to the beautiful @play0ad screenshots I got to have a great chat with my 10 year old nephew about #foss and #3dmodeling. He was very impressed by the #libre aspect and how anyone could improve and add to the software. I then showed him my name and avatar on the contribution list for @AntennaPod and he was so impressed with how many people worked together to make the app.
Just wanted to share this feel good story with the #opensource crowd, we're winning hearts and minds!
