I see a little birthday cake icon on my username today, which means it has officially been 1 year since this forum was created. It has been growing steadily ever since!

Some more history/context: we decided to create this forum a year ago because we found that the [farmOS GitHub and Drupal.org issue queues](https://farmos.discourse.group/t/farmos-projects-and-issue-queues/52/7), while great for managing feature requests and bug reports, were not great for managing broader discussions and answering general questions. This forum (generously hosted by [Discourse.com](http://Discourse.com)) has proven to be much more effective for that kind of communication. 🙂
