From the sources

PINE64 is a large, vibrant and diverse community and creates software, documentation and projects. Founded in 2015, it is known for affordable devices that promote user freedom.

Our goal is to push the envelope and deliver ARM and RISC-V devices that you want to use and develop for. To this end, we actively work with the development community and champion end-user initiatives. Rather than applying business to a FOSS setting, we allow FOSS principles to guide our business. We are available on Discord, IRC, Matrix and Telegram, in the Forum and on Reddit. PineStore have released the full 3D file for the PinePhone/PinePhone Pro. The PineVoice HA speaker is in the final stages as production begins, new PineTime revision to replace EOL display part, new PineTime Pro samples have been received by community developers, LoRa hardware development kicks up again along with…from pine64.org
