Flipper Zero – .
If anyone else does not know, Flipper Zero is a pocket multitool project for hackers in the Tamagotchi form factor, which gained $ 1 million on Kickstarter in the first day. One of the developers writes on Habré: “ Frankly speaking, none of the team even came close to expecting such popularity. In the early days, my phone was torn from notifications, calls were made from Forbes magazine to Channel One. I still haven't completely recovered from the shock and have not fully answered all the letters. I have never experienced anything like this in my life ”and encourages the community to work together, stating“ All Flipper Zero firmware will be fully open and published on Github, ”but a little later to limit the appearance of fakes.

The artist draws pictures based on Ubuntu and uses Open Source programs
As you know, the name of each GNU / Linux release of the Ubuntu distribution is formed according to the "epithet + animal name" scheme. For example, the next release of 20.10 will be "Groovy Gorilla" (loosely translated from English - "Tough Gorilla"). And there is the artist Sylvia Ritter, who draws cool art by name for each issue. The drawing for the future release is above (was published on August 4th, but I missed it and only saw it recently, so sorry for the little outdate), and below are a few more examples. In her work, the artist uses the free and open source software Krita, Blender, Inkscape and GIMP. In my opinion, cool!
