Thanks
A New Voyage
SOLUS_INVICTUS I said is it better to use antother distro and I did not said better distros but it is easy to find better distros for specific purpose : a distro's choice depends of the use you need of it.
OK, please forgive me. I mis-read you. You seem to have a plan (and an a**load of concurrent distros. I only run one.) So if you need that cool, light distro I would still advise to wait for Solus and not move data if it was me.
Staudey That is, did I understand correctly, the Solus developers are not kicking us out of their infrastructure? )
If so, let me know if I can be of any help. For example, I can test accessibility support for blind users of the new installer, or any other Solus components.
I could also take part in the translation into Ukrainian, but I have a feeling that we will have to do some research. The thing is, the last time I interacted with WebLate, I really didn t like it in terms of user experience. Crowdin showed himself to be the best. But if we do end up using WebLate, I ll try to investigate it again.
Simply put - when I talk about changes in the context of accessibility, I also mean the integration of blind users into the development of Solus, not just software support requests.

bmivzkrp No. How I interpreted the blog post is that they are looking forward to enable community involvement and engagement even more than before.
ikey posted on the serpent blog as well

Lucien_Lachance "During this transition period, despite being two separate projects, we're both heading to a common goal and interest...We have an exciting journey ahead for all of us, and there are many moving parts involved. Until we're at the point of mutual merge, we will keep the entities and billing separate. Thus, funds to the Solus OpenCollective are intended for use within Solus, whereas we currently use GitHub Sponsors for our own project needs.
Currently Solus and Serpent OS share one server, which was essential for quick turnaround on infrastructure enabling. At the end of this month Serpent OS will migrate from that server to a new, separate system, ensuring the projects are billed separately.
!! Now that the dust is settling, we're focusing on Serpent OS requirements, and helping Solus where we can. Our immediate goals are to build a dogfooding system for a small collection of developers to run as an unsupported prealpha configuration, allowing us to flesh out the tooling and processes. This will include a live booting GNOME ISO, and sufficient base packages to freely iterate on moss, boulder, etc as well as our own infrastructure."
Nice find, Lachance. That was just part of the dispatch. I love learning more and I have a good feeling about this partnership. Real excited for the future of Solus.
edit/formatting
ive learned a new word, dogfooding, i dont know what it means, but since both ikey, josh, ermo and i think staudey have used it its probably something kinky

Lucien_Lachance It means to use your own os that your develop for every day use, as opposed to using, say MacOS. :-)

" Our immediate goals are to build a dogfooding system for a small collection of developers to run as an unsupported prealpha configuration, allowing us to flesh out the tooling and processes."
so you can read that as all builders/developers are using the same linux build or original build on their home machines?
So glad you guys are back!!! @JoshStrobl @ikey
This is great news! Thanks to everyone involved in keeping Solus alive and for carrying it forward.
I switched over to tumbleweed last week and now this! Looking forward to Solus V. I swear then I'm back in that boat.
Solus is by far my best rolling release experience . Happy that it will alive, healthy, and growing.
Excellent news. On standby to test new versions.

The wonderful folks at RIT are now syncing from our repo! Users that haven't switched to the CDN-based one yet will now be getting updates (4hr delay from main repo server) and this week we will be rolling out an update to swap users to CDN (+ lots of other goodies).
I, too, am stoked!
Lucien_Lachance it's from "eating one's own dogfood", i.e. personally testing the thing you're making instead of just sending out something untested and letting your users do all the testing for you
synth-ruiner takes the rollercoaster element out of beta testing as well I imagine
