SliTaz Community Update — December 2022

December 2022

Nearly 16 years after SliTaz was first created, the project is alive, active, and in good hands. We have a community update to share, along with a big thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years.

Shann Steps Up on Infrastructure

We are pleased to welcome Stanislas Leduc, known in the community as Shann, who has taken charge of the project's infrastructure — servers, repositories, the forum and the package mirrors — and started his own experimental wok-current branch. Shann is a skilled contributor who brings real technical depth to the project.

Christophe Lincoln (Pankso), who created SliTaz back in 2006, continues to lead the project together with the contributors. SliTaz has no single maintainer: it is kept alive by Pankso and a dedicated group of volunteers who manage the wok, the tools and the releases together, keeping the original philosophy of simplicity and minimalism at the heart of the distribution.

Active Contributors

SliTaz has always been built by a small and dedicated group of volunteers. A special thanks to the contributors who are actively pushing commits and keeping the wok and tools in great shape:

Forum and Community

The SliTaz forum remains an active and friendly place. Whether you are a new user getting started or an experienced contributor looking to collaborate, the forum is the best place to connect with the community. Long-time members continue to share tips, solve problems, and discuss the direction of the project.

Looking Ahead

Rolling releases continue on a weekly basis. The package wok is regularly updated and the distribution remains true to its roots: lightweight, fast, and built for anyone who values a minimal and sovereign computing environment.

Thank you all — users, testers, packagers, translators, and those who simply spread the word. SliTaz is a community project in the truest sense, and it continues because of you.
