TurnKey 13.0 release candidate 3 - a community effort!

Before getting to the release, let's recap on how we got here:

In June the TurnKey 12.1 64-bit maintenance release was announced, built with the (soon to be released) TKLDev build appliance.

Introducing TKLDev - Turnkey's appliance development and build system in a box

Today we proudly announce the official release of TKLDev, the new mothership of all TurnKey Linux appliance development. With TKLDev, building TurnKey Core from scratch is as easy as running make. If you can handle that you're ready to roll:

TurnKey moves to GitHub

octocatAs Liraz mentioned a couple of weeks ago, TKLDev - TurnKey's shiny new appliance that can build appliances (including itself - now that's cool!) will soon be released, along with all the appliance source code.

TurnKey 12.1 64-bit maintenance release built with new tkldev build appliance

TurnKey 12.1 is out and it's the first 64-bit maintenance release to be built with tkldev - TurnKey's shiny new open appliance build system in a box.

With 64-bit support out the door, we've also pushed out a round of updates to the Hub so that users can finally deploy TurnKey on all instance sizes.

Drumroll please... I'm thrilled to make not one, but two announcements!

Meet Basil Kurian - 2nd place in TurnKey's first community development contest

Last week we finally published our interview with Adrian Moya, who won first place in the TurnKey community development contest. Basil won the respectable 2nd place and though we didn't know it at the same, more of his contributions would make it into the TurnKey library when we more than doubled it in the TurnKey 12 release.

Meet Adrian Moya - winner of TurnKey's first community development contest

Two years ago Adrian Moya won the first TurnKey community development contest. We decided it would be a good idea to interview him so the community would get to know him better. Unfortunately we made the foolish mistake of deciding to postpone the interview until his submissions made it into the TurnKey library as official appliances. In retrospect I think it would have been best if we did the interview right after Adrian won the contest. Hindsight is always 20/20.

The curious case of Jeremy Davis (AKA JedMeister)

Ah, it's that special time of year again. People all over the world are getting into the holiday spirit. Celebrating the good parts of human nature. Trying to be just a bit nicer to other people. Buying presents for friends and family.

I'm Jewish and live in Israel so I'm stuck with Hannuka. Which I'm pretty sure sucks compared to Christmas. Most Israelis don't really know what they're missing, but I lived long enough in the US as a kid to know better. I'm not talking about any of the religious stuff. What I miss is the atmosphere. Good will and holiday cheers to all! Ho ho ho!

For great justice: all your criticism are belong to us!

I started writing this blog post as a comment to forum discussion that really got me thinking titled "State of TurnKey from a users viewpoint". Many thanks to Eric, Jeremy and Carl for their insightful and thought provoking comments. I've decided to post my response on the blog to draw attention to the discussion. I believe it reflects what many of you in the community must be thinking and I'm hoping to hear more people voice their opinions on the matter.
