Hi Thibault,

Sorry for the radio silence, a few points: we do have a plan for a Sputnik 4 but thats still a ways off.  I have always wanted to create a Big brother but have never promised it :)   The profile tool and cloud launcher efforts have slowed down unfortunately, i have to check back in with the team to see where we are with that.

thanks for your continued interest!

Barton

Hi Barton,

Thanks for your answer.I need to buy a new laptop so can you please tell me approximately how long I will have to wait until the sputnik 4 is release (for the summer or end of the year)?Can you please give me more details on the improvement of the profile tools and cloud launcher?

Thanks again

Best regards

Thibault

Hi Barton,

Sorry to bug you - just wondering if there's any update on the plans for Sputnik 4? :)

Many thanks,

Michael

Hi Barton, excellent to hear that there are plans for Sputnik 4, but unfortunate to hear it's a ways off.

I can see from your blog you're deeply involved in devops stuff, but it seems to me the profile tool and the cloud launcher just don't belong in Sputnik as a product. The cloud space is moving so quickly that the cloud launcher tool is obsolete before it's even released. Most people buy a new computer every couple years and dev toolkits change constantly, so the profile tool while a nice idea is limited value as well. These two things make excellent ideas, but really should be stand alone projects.

Just offer a great laptop with top notch linux hardware driver support for ubuntu/mint, with the specs developers need. And while we're at it just make the drivers open source projects too. A nice touch would be to get rid of the windows key on the keyboard and replace with a penguin.

Still hoping for that bigger sputnik one day.

Thanks Mike,

I appreciate the feedback!

I moved on, got an Apple MacBook Pro, could not wait anymore...

Hi Milicb57,

I understand.  thanks for your consideration.

Barton

Hi Barton,

Can you please tell us any things about the softwares tools improvement or the new sputnik revision ? The waiting is killing me and if I have no news about the project I will be obliged to move on and buy me a macbook pro ( It would be a sad decision since dI follow the project day 1 but my computer broke and I need asap another)

Thanks again Barton for your answer

Best regards

Thibault

Any updates on when Sputnik 4 is going to become a reality?

Very keen on this and I search for news on it almost daily but no news in ages :(

Come on Barton just tell us if the laptop is coming this year or next year?

This will tell me if I keep supporting your project or I should rather buy a macbook pro

Thanks

Thibault
