GhostBSD project depend strictly on its community and its contributors and your help is always needed, also if you are interested to contribute on the development, documentation, translation and/or community let us know on irc.freenode.net #ghostbsd, #ghostbsd-dev Forum or Contact page. Again Many thanks for the support.

What happen to first Patreon goal

We did deploy a server running FreeBSD from SoYouSrart, we did move every thing there to and to work our web infrastructure, the big thing that was accomplish was replacing MantisBT with Redmine and add a ftp service for hosting all iso on ftp. since the mix of PayPal and Patreon make our income more stable and we decide to move right away to a server, we did not wait for the first Patreon goal to be done, and we might come with a new goal. There is still great Patreon goals that we engage to accomplish.

What append with issues and wiki users

Since we replace MantisBT by Redmine all the user that had an account on issues.ghostbsd.org will have to create a new one. We was not able to migrate the Wiki database and all user need to will also need to create a new account. we are sorry for that inconvenient
