      Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

      We did it! We reached the ‘week of the GNU/Linux desktop’! Maybe not every desktop out there is updated to the latest release yet, but at least we have seen the two major Desktop Environments updated in the last two weeks. That’s just some of the few things that have happened over the last two weeks, which resulted in 12 published snapshots (0306, 0307, 0308, 0310, 0311, 0313, 0314, 0315, 0316, 0317, 0318, and 0319).
