The Frugalware team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Building on the achievements of 2009, 2010 was a very successful year. Frugalware featured upgrades to the Linux kernel, GNOME desktop, KDE desktop, X.org and other major packages. Current developers and contributors continued their great work and we welcomed several new developers and contributors. 2011 is almost certain to be an exciting year, so let’s get started!

Merry Christmas to everyone in the Frugalware community. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas as a Christian festival, it’s a good time to reflect on your achievements and plan for the year ahead. 2010 has been an interesting, exciting and productive year for Frugalware Linux. Events have included many new developers and contributors. Thankyou to everyone who has contributed to our success, including: developers, contributors, translators, artists, bloggers, those who reported bugs and everyone who participated in the mailing lists and forums.
