Coordinating Lucid Puppy has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I am indebted to Barry for trusting me with it and to Mick for helping to make it happen. Mick was a full partner from almost the very beginning. The dude is steady and a meticulous programmer--I think his Quickpet should become a Puppy standard. Also thanks to everyone who contributed.
It’s been a bit over a year since we started with Karmic Puppy and then 3 releases of Lucid Puppy, in May, August, and now January. That seems to be about the right amount of time to work this hard. I also believe that Lucid Puppy has been stretched about as far as it can stretch and is now at the end of its development cycle. Therefore, I will not be coordinating any more releases of Lucid Puppy. I think it has some legs though and should be good for 4-6 months easily. There are a couple of things we are watching and if appropriate there could be an Instant Update.
What’s next? I don’t speak for Barry, but I personally hope to see more Woof-based Puppy projects. If you have an idea I encourage you to start a project. Just get a bunch of projects going and see what happens. All projects would not automatically end up as official releases of course. But when we started uPup and Karmic Puppy we had no thought at all of becoming official--we were just having fun. Let Barry blow someone else’s mind by asking them to coordinate an official Puppy.
Ideas. Mick has already gotten an SPup project underway. I even had a couple of ideas that I hope someone else might find worth pursuing. For a future Puppy project someone might build a Woof-based Puppy (from any distro) and then go about compiling 'all' of the programs in that Puppy. That strikes me as an interesting use of Woof and possibly a tight and reliable Puppy. Another possibility could be an APup with the “rolling release

Larry, you've been an incredibly good coordinator. It was a joy and a privilige to follow the development over the past couple of months. What surprised me most was the rare combination of openmindedness and clear dedication towards the end-goal: one of the best Puppys ever!
You were constantly surrounded by about 50 'contributors', pushing and pulling the project into and out of balance.. I would have developed lots of grey hair, had I been in your shoes!
But you and Mick kept the ship on course, with humour and instant solutions.
I would also like to thank you also on behalf of the international puppy community.
No other puppy has ever had this amount of localisation. It's still a work in progress, but big steps have been taken in puppy 5.2. This would have been impossible without the tenacity of Shinobar of course. (Anata ga Shinobar arigat

Firstly, Many thanks to all for what you've done with this release.
Secondly, your starting comment, plus the stability of 5.2 has decided me to actually start on an idea that's been percolating and evolving in the back of my mind for some time. But to do so (without reinventing the wheel) I wonder if you have the individual built-in packages somewhere I can access or download or do I need to package them up first?
Thirdly, and lastly does any of the development team (maybe @01micko would be best) know if Trio's Petmaker Plus http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40457 is working correctly with 5.2 as it's last version was created for 430?
thanks again

Hi scsijon
Be aware that trio's petmaker plus has a serious bug with conversion of sfs >> pet. Simply don't use that part of the program! Both myself and Jim1911 found out the hard way that it has the potential to destroy a whole partition. I tend to think that that would be a global bug, not just a 520 bug.
It's a shame trio isn't about much these days, he's a talented coder, I guess he isn't even aware.
Cheers

Sure. You would like to have the packages so that you can build with Woof, is that it? I will post the packages that are different than straightforward pets or debs (the ones that have been customized). Then the pets and debs are handled by Woof. It will take a week or so. I have done the same thing for 5.0 and 5.1.Secondly, your starting comment, plus the stability of 5.2 has decided me to actually start on an idea that's been percolating and evolving in the back of my mind for some time.

playdayz,
Yes, I have admired your "staying power" over the duration of your coordination. You have expressed the sentiment a few times about stepping back from the frontline -- well, 5.2 is a major milestone and a rest is well earned. I notice that you haven't really stated explicitly that you are totally retiring from a coordinating/development role, so I hope that you continue to do something -- Puppy is very addictive, it is hard to stay away!

This review

This conclusion
. . . that was 2010 and Puppy is clearly the best distro of 2011
I am sure that Larry, Mick, Ttuuxxx, Shinobar and Barry will continue to advise and support our emerging Puppys. Our potential and opportunity is in our diversity and support across projects.
What a great kennel of fish
What a great shoal of Puppys
Whatever next?

This conclusion

They are all live, but some are designed to work that way. Without a doubt, Puppy Linux is the clear winner in this aspect. Usable out of the box, super fast, super light, with a mighty punch and a ton of programs, Puppy Linux is the king of the live session.

Let me congratulate Playdayz, 01micko... Shinobar,thuuxxx... and every one who has helped make Lucid Puppy 5.2
Thanks
Thanks
It has been very interesting to follow the progress.
Unfortunately for me you guys don't have the hardware that I ahve so none of you cared to include Acer D250 and similar computers in the code so it boot reliably as Puppeee and Fluppy and Snow Puppy all does.
Still love the Quickpet thing.

not an ideal solution though

After testing ubuntu like i feel all linux noobs do. i was striving after somthing else, somthing different. Not just another company system that gave me headackes. I downloaded aprox 50 distros from distrowatch.com and puppy linux 5.1 was the one that amazed me the most. 5.1 had charm and soul. and was great to play with. Lightningfast speed i didnt think was possible on outdated machines. since that day ive been hoocked. ive followed and downloaded every alpha download since 232. On the side i have downloaded and tested almost every puplet i can get my hands on. But following the progress of 5.20 has been special. ive installed puppy linux now on 5 systems and 2 live usb keys
Thanks to Playdayz and all that have contributed

Congrats and thanks very much indeed to you Playdayz for all your hard work, organisation and dedication..
Lupu is fantastic, and deservedly very popular.
Also a big well done should go to 01micko and shinobar as playdayz mentioned...
As well as many others - so many people should be proud of their contributions to Puppy 5

I still don't know how you guys have the time for everything you do.
Puppy, and Linux overall, are better off for all your efforts.
As a relatively new user (since 4.2) I consider myself lucky to be witness to the amazing progress of Puppy Linux, just wish I got onboard sooner. For sure I could have put the distro-hopping madness behind me and maybe have less gray hair.
Also kudos for sticking to your vision. Puppy is Puppy, not anything else, and I hope it stays that way.

You have been a truly great Project Manager/Coordinator.
You had the vision.
You gathered together most of the major developers in our Community and somehow got them working together on your vision, with no major disagreements flaring up.
By hard work and a firm hand on the tiller you made that vision and this project come to reality, something that doesn't always happen.
We all admire Barry as the Benevolent Dictator who ultimately makes all the decisions. It's a good model that has served us well.
I would say your job has been harder because you have involved the community in the decision making process and that needs much more coordination and tact in keeping everybody happy.
This is one of the greatest Puppies - built at a time with major changes in the building blocks to contend with (X-Org autoconfiguration, kernel modesetting, new video drivers causing problems). When I looked yesterday Puppy was number 3 on the Distrowatch 7-day rankings (below Mint and Ubuntu). That says it all.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
