A new Raspberry Pi OS version based on Debian bullseye is published and this means that we have to publish a new OpenPlotter version too. We tough this transition would be fast and we were happy because some important changes were waiting for a major revision, but the Devil is in the details and we found some problems soon that must be fixed to move on. No big issues, just more time consuming than expected. I will try to do some planning here and comment on some changes.
One of the most important thing is that we have a new mantra: no docs, no app. That means that this time we get really serious with documentation and no app will be released without being fully documented.
OpenPlotter 3 official images will be 32-bit and 64-bit. OpenPlotter 3 apps will be also tested in Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy 64-bit for desktop, laptops and Raspberry.
In GREEN changes already done.
In RED changes in progress.
- Write general chapters in docs: Description and Getting Started.
- OpenPlotter Settings app. Improved package and sources management.
- OpenPlotter Signal K installer app. Using Node.js version 16.
- OpenPlotter OpenCPN installer app. PPA and Flatpak sources are offered, both installations can coexists. Ready for the new o-charts plugin (unifies and improves oeSENC and oeRNC plugins).
- Release of alpha docs.

I will notify updates on this thread...
Im tached what i already have done in production here. I really thing making releases like counted are a problems, because in your own architecture you kind a have a rolling release a-like software that has even counted on scripted generated image on the fly for that. I presume we're assuming the GIT architecture. Im planning to start contributing to the project on a fork of the entire system as i plan to update my apt.sources.list as a rolling release mode. I have to garantuee that my mobile arqchitecture syncs well with the GPIO board. Also im thinking to integrate voice activation comands trought Mycroft.Ai. Maybe we can contribute together. I have boung of collected stuff also in
Propose to change to model OpenPlotter GPIO as it doesnt make sense as it would be re-inventing the well. Maybe a fork of this project could be more precise and lazy LMAO. But that is the typicall thing that if hard to maintain as normally new protocols wil be implemented in MQTT and also for big boats a Network for MQTT is more inteliggent for sensor and pressure stuff that can be displayed in any KSignal Dashboard.
Also the IoT device manager as this is the same as the mqtt protocol that is very abroad and complex for machine telemetry.
sDR will have be maintained for many manufacturers and normally the only use for it is for Digital comunication and should be done in SSB (altought in VHF is the operation of the AIS System) There are another types of SDR comunication made that have transportation of the global system of Meteorology.
Please if you can add me to the GIT repo i think is better to manage the project there right?
Another important thing would be to open the GIT members for have more contributors as today is a very new project in GIT and im sure many people can contribute there in many ways.
Thanks for the opportunity of being part of the community
