2019: What A Year For Our Patron Snake

sommersoft’s CircuitPython 2019 Reflections

My 2019 In Review

My contributions in 2019 fell largely into the “automation/tooling” category.

• Adabot saw her capabilities and responsibilities grow quite a bit. She is now integral to the circuitpython.org website, providing daily library information updates to include open pull requests, open issues, and infrastructure issues. This allows a greater visibility of ways individuals can contribute, by providing a single-source of information. She also went through two host migrations: from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com, and more recently from travis-ci.com to GitHub Actions. Outside of that, her updates were largely maintenance related, a lot of which were caused by my own mis-steps in maintenance ;-).

2020: Year Of The Blinka (v3)

sommersoft’s Thoughts on CircuitPython in 2020

Its that time of year (the beginning) to call for the community’s thoughts on #CircuitPython2020. Here are my thoughts, and personal goals for 2020.

My 2019 In Review

Many of the submissions for last year’s #CircuitPython2019 included some introspective review of the things folks worked on in the previous year. I initially started with that format before the official call for 2020 went out. However, most of the submissions so far and the call itself are strictly forward-looking. Add to that the fact that my Year In Review got really long, I’ve decided to break it out from this and just link to it. It really only served as a personal stage-setter to advance my thoughts on the upcoming year. sommersoft’s CircuitPython 2019 Reflections
