• Planning for 3/29 release of Node

• Informal Poll to vote on Node names.  Please check out the poll on Discord.  If you have a name you wish to suggest, we are still open to suggestions- our Brand is 'Secure, Scalable, Sustainable'.  We need to decide on a name very very soon, as we will be releasing debian and rpm packages.  These packages require a name that does not change.
