Welcome to the 12th (!) edition of the FlightGear Newsletter! Of course we will not ignore this mileage; you can expect a special jubilee edition next month. But first: '''June'''. | |||
I would like to use this moment to bring the rapid increase of (new) developers based at [http://flightgear.org/forums FlightGear's forum] into attention. As can be easily seen in this newsletter, more and more users seem to make the small step (for mankind, but one giant leap for FlightGear :P ) to the developers-world. Some of these projects evolved over time from small solo-experiments to "major" projects with multiple people contributing. And that is exactly the whole purpose/advantage of being OpenSource. Let us hope this trend will continue in futher years and do our best to help more people in making that step. | |||
Enjoy this brand new edition full of news from your fellow pilots/developers! | |||
