<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">Hey everyone!</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">Just a quick reporting in on
the KSP-CKAN cross-platform mod manager for Kerbal Space Program, for
which Linux Australia is helping us with infrastructure funding. I had sent this through a couple of weeks ago but it appears to have been lost in moderation, so I'm resending with less graphics to avoid that.<br></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em"><strong>tl;wr: We’re bringing lots of joy to space enthusiasts! :)</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">The most recent release of the
KSP-CKAN client (17 October) has had 66k downloads, and we’ve had over a
million downloads summed over all releases. We’re indexing over two
thousand individual mods for Kerbal Space Programme, and over twelve
thousand individual mod releases overall.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">While we purposefully don’t
track mod downloads to protect user privacy, the sheer number of client
downloads and contributions the project is receiving means I can
confidently say we’re going very, very strong.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">We’re also extremely fortunate to have picked up some <em>incredible</em>
new contributors. An extra special thanks goes to HebaruSan for the
best UI improvements ever, which are already in the development version
and will be landing with the next release. <b>See <a href="https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/pull/2177" target="_blank">this PR</a> for the new interface in all its glory.</b> :)</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">I also want to express my
enormous gratitude to Myk Dowling for his continuing role as Mission
Director, Leon Wright for keeping our infrastructure running, and of
course Linux Australia for helping with our infrastructure costs!</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">May you go to space today!</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">🚀 Paul</p></div>
