3 (almost 4) new plugins got merged to #fwupd this week, which I think is a new record: huddly-usb, telink-dfu, and algoltek-usbcr. Also qc-s5gen2 gained BLE support which will cover a lot of new hardware. There are *another* 3 plugins in various stages of completion which I'm hoping to merge next week too. It's really starting to accelerate now! If you'd like to massage my ego, you can star the fwupd project on GitHub:

Happy Birthday to the LVFS 9 years ago today I wrote 4 little PHP scripts and pushed it to OpenShift which was the beginning of the LVFS. We've since rewritten it in Python, switched the deployment from "sudo git pull" on the server under my stairs at home (literally) to deploying onto AWS with Terraform. In 9 years we've onboarded over 140 vendors, shipped ~110 million firmware files and added support for ~85 firmware update protocols for ~1600 different devices. I'm pretty happy with that.
