Thoughts about CircuitPython in 2020

One of the most striking things about CircuitPython during 2019 was the expansion of the number of people
that Adafruit is now sponsoring to work on it. This clear commitment by Adafruit has had a tremendous impact.
Coupled with the amazing volunteer efforts, CircuitPython and the libraries have expanded and improved trementously.
I'm certain 2020 will see much more of the same!

The CircuitPython "family" continues to be a great collection of supportive and collaboative indiviuals. It is a plesure
to watch the Discord discussions and see the amount of effort people are willing to expend to help newcomers and experienced
users with their issues. The commitment to maintaining a friendly environment has paid off tremendously. I am proud to be
associated with it.

For my own 2020 goals, I hope to spend more time actually using CircuitPython to do useful things with all the boards and 
sensors I have acquired. I need to spend more time learning how to go beyond the demos for displayio and BLE and start
making more things.

I also hope to become a more productive reviewer of both the core and libraries. It is a great way to learn the details
of how they work, "under the hood".

The expansion of Blinka has been another exciting development. It is wonderful to be able to freely migrate from my
MCUs to my Raspberry Pis. My ability to work with both platforms has improved greatly.

Mostly, I hope 2020 is a lot like 2019! Tahnk you to all involved.
