Thanks for all the love guys...

As for Graf_Chokolo he is still fighting, he didn't give up, and he won't give up, don't stop supporting him... he deserves, also he is doing fine

Just wanted to let you guys know I read all the comments on here. Thanks for supporting us through this rollercoaster of a year the scene's been through. We're looking forward to bringing you more great releases both in the console world and otherwise.

Graf_chokolo is doing well considering all he's going through. I promised him when we started gitbrew that as long as he's fighting Sony in the court rooms, we'd be fighting through our releases. When his case finally gets thrown out, I hope he accepts our offer and joins us as an official gitbrew developer.

I noticed that a few people were wondering about occupyOS versus the already existing pile of quasi-secure boot environments, so I thought I'd clear that up while I was here: While Tails, Liberté, and most of the other "secure boot environments" we researched put forth a lot of effort to make secure environments, all had insecurities that I didn't feel should be included in anything I'd want to endorse, and most were very hard for the technologically impaired. The one exception we found was the very well thought out DOD LPS image, which contained only the bare essentials the average nontechnical user would need to perform his/her duties, had pre-installed FIPS-compliant encryption programs that were easy to use, and utilized a gui that is very easy for said user to navigate (window manager looks a lot like windows). Keep in mind that most activists aren't necessarily tech savvy, and most of them have lived in the windows world all their life, so in order for this to be of any use for them it has to be familiar enough for them to use it, have transparent (to the user, at least) security, and possess only the programs they need (anything more would just clutter up their system). Oh, and we had to make really awesome splash screens and desktop backgrounds, as well :D

Thanks again for all the support. We really do appreciate it.

Great read and loved the dedication gitbrew is giving to the scene
Seriously lmfao when I read "sooner or later ibm is going to finally send a cease and desist. We’ll put that right up next to dasmoovers sign"
