News?

Second that. A Raptor news section would be good on this board. I only joined Twitter because of Raptor ...
pocock:
Raptor may not want to have all these extra chores though. A lot of organizations recently started hiring people in eastern European countries to help with things like this.
For example,
* phpList has set up a small office in Albania
* Debian had an Outreachy intern from Albania to handle contact DebConf sponsors
* Prishtina Hackerspace, in Kosovo, has received funding from other groups to hire a publicity officer on a permanent basis
The wage expectations vary, starting from about $300/month for a student in a non-technical field. There are a small number of really good developers there but they insist on globally competitive rates of pay. In between those two extremes there are many possibilities or opportunities to piggy back on other groups there.

We miss you all at the face to face conferences; those were excellent venues for more niche product lines like ours and we have yet to find a viable substitute. Here's hoping 2021 will bring back the more decentralized physical events (i.e. supplant the Google/Amazon/Microsoft/Intel/AMD-dominated online events) and we'll get you see you in person with some of the technologies we're working on for 2021 / 2022!
I always hope to know more about Axon AIO, especially now that Power 10 is still far away ...! I hope you will soon give us some news of what these new Power 9s will look like and if we can use them to upgrade, obviously accompanied by the new RAM that AXON AIO requires ... We always stay connected ... :-)

The Blackbird shows 'backordered' on the Raptor web page. Anyone know when it will be available again?
pocock:
I don't have an answer about the Blackbird
From my personal analysis, I feel that many people considering a Blackbird might get more advantages from a Talos II Lite, it is only about 10% more expensive but there are benefits as outlined on the comparison page here.
In particular, using more than 2 memory channels or more than 8 cores both give you significant performance benefits if that is necessary for your workload. It can also take a GPU wider than 2 slots because there is nothing else beyond the GPU slot.
