GalliumOS Project, 2016

As we close the books on our first full year of operations, we'd like to thank everyone who helped make it such a great year for the GalliumOS Project!

Thank you for contributing, answering questions on Reddit and IRC, asking questions on Reddit and IRC, researching configuration tweaks, testing new builds, and reporting successes and failures.

We're looking forward to more in 2017, and hope you'll join us for the ride!

We have some announcements as well as some statistics for the past year.

Shirts and Stickers

We now have stickers available to people that donate through PayPal for this year. They come in two varieties. If you'd like stickers, please send a mailing address with your PayPal donation. If you'd like to donate, please go to our donation page.

We also have shirts available for a limited time through Teespring. They have the logo with "GalliumOS" on the front in your choice of blue, black, or gray, in unisex or women's. The campaign will run for two weeks, from January 18th to February 1st. If you miss your chance to purchase a shirt, don't worry, we will run the campaign again another time.
