Official project updates
The Nerves website has gotten a major rework and should now be easy to maintain and work on in the open. If you see anything weird, feel free to report or PR it, the repo is here. Fantastic work by Jon, Masatoshi and Frank on getting this done.
The newsletter archive is intended to go on there automatically with time as well. I'll put some time to that eventually :)
Updates are short and sweet this time:
This is a security/bug fix release for v1.21.3.
Fixes

Alex McLain talks Nerves on the BEAM Radio podcast
Our good buddy Alex that runs the Nerves Meetup agreed to come chat on BEAM Radio with your truly (Lars) and Bruce. He has had an interesting journey and the recording time was the only thing stopping that conversation from going everywhere eventually.
You can find the episode here.

Nerves Meetup on 28th of December
The next event looks to be 28th of December. Double-check from your own device as it usually lies to me. It is telling me 29th over here :P
Keep an eye on the Meetup page for updates.
Supporting the Nerves project
We want to encourage everyone to contribute in whatever way works for them. Here are some ways we currently recommend:
- Write or port a new hardware library and include it in the Elixir Circuits collection.
- Give money to the project via Open Collective.
- Get in touch about taking over maintenance duties for some libraries, we might be able to provide you hardware.
- Apply for an EEF stipend on something Nerves-related and build it. We can help if you have questions about this.
- Send corrections or improvements for documentation wherever it fails to help you.
- Write about Nerves, give talks about Nerves. Make videos about Nerves. It is all good.
Finally, if you have questions about the newsletter or want to suggest something you can simply respond to this email it will go directly to me, Lars, who edits this thing. Let me know what you think.
