+# FreedomBox 0.1
+
+Ian Sullivan posted a release announcement today regarding the first
+[FreedomBox](http://freedomboxfoundation.org) public release, which we're
+calling [0.1](www.kickstarter.com/projects/721744279/push-the-freedombox-foundation-from-0-to-60-in-30/posts/296870=).
+
+This release is, frankly, long overdue. Getting here has been harder and taken
+much longer than any of us intended. Fortunately, now that we've reached this
+milestone, I believe that making regular progress towards the vision we have
+for a "1.0" release will get easier.
+
+FreedomBox is far from the only thing that I'll be working on after my upcoming
+[early retirement](http://www.gag.com/bdale/blog/posts/Early_Retirement.html)
+from [HP](http://hp.com), but hopefully I will succeed in putting far more
+time towards the project soon than I have been able to in the past.
