Thanks again to Chris who has not only helped us finish the first foonas.org donation drive but is now also helping out with Thecus N2100 support and foonas-iscsi!

News on the next donation drive will appear in the near future, watch this space!

We are still collecting donations for the Q1 donation drive to get a device for foonas developer Byron Bradley, so if you want to help foonas in a non technical manner hit up the donations page and pop us a few bucks!

Currently team foonas is focusing on finishing off the localisation in foonas-em and full on foonas-iscsi development. News about new releases and development will follow soon! Recently foonas.org got a small mention in an article at the embedded Linux news site Linux Devices thanks to Markus from nas-central.org, champion of the GPL who also got slashdotted recently in his mission to acquire sources for the Hammer MyShare NAS. You can follow his quest on the nas-central.org blog!

The network used for developing and testing foonas has run out of ethernet ports, and we are seeking to alleviate that problem temporarily and support a new NAS device at the same time by purchasing some Thecus N1200s, a NAS device with a built in switch.

Hit the foonas donations page to donate by paypal, thanks for helping foonas!

This will be similar to foonas-em in size and reside in firmware on supported devices. Currently it is in very early stages of development, more information will be made available as this progresses!
