So this is a bit off-topic, but I pulled out my Novena this past weekend to work on an SDR project and after updating the installed packages I started wondering about the process of keeping these devices running up-to-date software and the community around it.

Are you able to offer any insight about how I, a developer with only a little embedded experience, could learn enough about the process to meaningfully contribute to keeping the Novena up-to-date? Is there still a community around the Novena?
