Hi, thanks for the online meetup. There are some technical problems that need to be addressed for future meetups but the effort is welcome. I had some questions:

- Flynn versions: it seems that by having an stable channel means that flynn is going to be updated on an onrolling basis. Will you ever use tags like 1.0 or 2.0 to identify which version of flynn is running? will the cluster update itself to latest stable or how will we know about the features available in our installation?

- Roadmap: it looks like you have completed your first goals with the platform. Is there a way to know what comes next? I'm sure there are lot of expected features from users so a roadmap for the year/quarter will be really nice.

- How much history/days is saved on the logs?

- Internationalization for dashboard. Is this landing sometime? I can contribute translating keys.

Also a suggestion: how about opening a twitter account for the project? it's great to keep the community up to date with what's happening in the flynn world and a powerful communication tool, I asume you already know this, so I'm not sure if it's a decision to not have a twitter account for any reason. Anyway, I really miss being able to follow the project via twitter.

Sorry about that. I figured out what went wrong, so it shouldn’t happen again.

Flynn releases are identified by a version with a date and iteration number like v20151214.2. There will soon be a changelog page and JSON feed that lists stable releases and the changes in them. Currently the cluster does not auto-update (though the CLI does), you can see docs on updating here: https://flynn.io/docs/faq/how-do-i-update-flynn

We don’t currently have a published roadmap, though that may change in the future. Our current priorities are: improving the scheduler (tag-based scheduling will be coming soon), security, and improving how containers and container images are handled.

The logaggregator saves up to 10k lines per app in memory, and up to 200MB of logs from jobs in each app are saved on the hosts they are running on.

We’ll do this eventually. Internationalization is a lot of work to do properly, so we want to make sure that we have enough resources to devote to doing it right before getting started.
