A year ago today on April 3, Michael posted the [Machinekit
announcement] on the Emc-developers list. IMO, that marks the official
birthday of Machinekit, so,
Happy Birthday!
I'm incredibly pleased (and surprised!) by the huge leaps the project
has made in such a short time, and by the explosive growth of the
project's community. In the [ZeroMQ Guide Chap. 6], Pieter Hintjens
writes that the two go hand-in-hand, and says "It's hard to
overemphasize the power and persistence of a working open source
community." That's exactly what I see here, an amazing bunch of folks
continually attracting new amazing folks, and the result is brilliance.
Congratulations to everybody, both those participating in the
Machinekit project today, and also those who contributed to the 15+ year
legacy of the code base. I can't wait to see what the next year will bring.

yes, quite a ride, and I'm enjoying it!
I think we should take the opportunity and thank John for the enormous job he has signed up to and delivered on: automated builds, and his package repository - I'm not sure if many people are aware how much effort John put into this (and still is)!

Wow, time flies.
Thanks to everyone involved in the project. Not to forget the
extraordinary support we got from the BeagleBoard community.

Hi Machinekit,
happy birthday from Electrolab - which now has several machines running Machinekit!

Happy Birthday #4 Machinekit!
While I've probably *contributed to* Machinekit *less* in the last year
than ever before, it turns out I've *used* Machinekit *more*, whether
for the EMC app on my 3D printer, or whether for straight HAL and
QtQuickVCP for Golibox, autoclave and robot controls. Thanks to all the
devs and maintainers for the great work.

Congratulations, machinekit is most excellent work, I don't know how the developers find time to keep the project going, and give my thanks to everyone for their efforts and contributions.

Happy Birthday Machinekit! 5 years old now.
`machinekit-hal` repository. HAL is the crown jewel of the Machinekit
project, and splitting it off into its own repository brings it out
from under the shadow of the EMC application and at last into the
visibility of its own light. There's a lot of polishing left to do,
but it's huge progress that it is already usable, with its own
independent code base and package stream. Congratulations, and thanks
to everyone who helped make this happen!

Happy sixth birthday, Machinekit!
Over the last year, the spun-out HAL repo has enjoyed major
improvements from over a dozen contributors in several areas. The HM2
drivers and several HAL comps have new features, HAL now supports the
`arm64` architecture, Machinetalk sports a new OpenCV-based video
server, and many changes went into the build, packaging and CI
infrastructure to support the HAL/CNC repo split. And after years of
wishing for it, I'm happy to see a new CMake build system ready to be
merged.
Along with progress, the year had its challenges, too. The CI service
was suddenly and unexpectedly dismantled, leaving the project without
continuously updated packages; fortunately, an effort to resolve it is
underway.
Most saddening, a few, highly esteemed contributors have gone on
hiatus. I appreciate everything they've done, and only hope to see
them more in the future, even if only on occasion.
I'm just grateful to all of you keeping the project going on a daily
basis. Thank you for submitting all your PRs on GitHub, and thank you
for merging them. Thank you for your chatter on the mailing list.
Thanks to you new, enthusiastic contributors joining the community. I
look forward to collaborating with you over a new CI system and
porting LinuxCNC-EMC to run on Machinekit-HAL over the next year, and
over the next year, I'm looking forward to seeing what other advances
you all bring in.

Happy Birthday Machinekit!
I haven't contributed much to Machinekit over the last year, but I've been working with a few other folks here in the community to integrate it into Tormach's new ZA6 robot, now in beta testing. It has been gratifying to see how versatile Machinekit is and how easily it has integrated with ROS to play out trajectories. I hope to have more related news to tell the community soon.
John
