Welcome to my new monthly technical recap. As it is already March, I will take the liberty to bring you up to speed on the first two months of the year and then monthly moving forward.
What a start to the year. IGEL achieved amazing things in only two months! Guess what? It's more than I had expected, and I hope you will feel the same.

IGEL Community Events
January Community Meetup: the PI is coming! In this Meetup, we discussed the newly announced IGEL RPI4 Raspberry Pi device in cooperation with NComputing.
We also sat in on an IGEL Ready webinar with IGEL's IGEL Ready partners. Over the coming months, we will be adding the IGEL Ready partners to the community, so you have a place to communicate with the partners directly, ask them questions, learn about their solutions, and more.
Our February Meetup featured 'me'. I showed you how I reverse engineer things and solve common IGEL-related support issues. This was part 1 of 2 and featured debugging and command line.
IGEL Technology Partners
As mentioned above, we are adding new Technology Partners all the time. The following partners joined the IGEL Community. Visit them on the IGEL Community on Slack.
Lenovo (coming soon)

Miscellaneous
IGEL Feature Proposals board was launched. This Feature Proposals Board will not only give you the ability to share your product ideas, but you can vote for existing items. Your votes help us understand which suggestions/ideas are essential to you.
IGEL Roadmaps Documents were published to the IGEL Community.
On February 25th, We launched the IGEL OS RPI4 on NComputing RX420(IGEL) hardware! Finally, IGEL is coming back to the ARM Platform. It is excellent to have this platform as part of IGEL's offerings and offers a great price to performance ratio and unique use case. It is highly recommended.
We launched the UD Pocket 2. Finally, USB C is covered by our smallest endpoint.
