Our Response To PC Engines Open-Source Firmware Sponsorship Discontinuation

pietrushnic

Dear pfSense community members,
We regret to announce that PC Engines, a provider of small and low-power servers for network security, wireless networking, and embedded applications, has discontinued its sponsorship for open-source firmware. Although this is a significant change for the open-source firmware community, our commitment to supporting the hardware remains strong. At Dasharo, we aim to continue the legacy of PC Engines by distributing open-source firmware and putting the community's needs first. Our focus will be on releases and feature sets driven by community support. We are considering a subscription model to ensure stable and reliable firmware updates. Your input is important to us, and we would appreciate your feedback through our survey. Please help us understand how we can better serve the open-source firmware community and ensure its success in the future.

Full details.
