I just learned that !trisquel 9.0 was officially announced on Oct 19. Y'all know, I can't help myself, so, I downloaded the new Mate iso, and had a look at the live system. I'm glad to see that Orca, and friends, are updated to a recent versions, and they kept the look and feel (for keyboard-only users) as it has always been. This is very comfortable. I'm also glad to see that Jami is pre-installed; maybe more people will use it? Trouble is, I no longer have a supported wifi device. Thanks to all who built and tested the thing, and are already hard at work on the next release!
