We’ve used the Star Sailors Repo (Github/Acord-Robotics/StarSailors) for the past few months to catalogue the development of Stellarios. From now, that repo will only dicuss the development of the Star Sailors novella series, which will also be discussed here.
Over 1000 commitments have been made to the Star Sailors repo, however ACORD have decided that the Stellarios repo is more appropriate for what the Star Sailors repo was being used for.

Thanks to NASA & Github, we have a way to (kind of) recreate the Mars 2020 rover in our own backyard. This means we can create another branch of robots - the ones inspired by space probes and rovers. All branches can be controlled in Stellarios (see this post on how releases work).
According to NASA, the Open Source Rover is

Stellarios will undergo consistent releases, with all applications undergoing updates at the same time to ensure constant compatibility. The updates are being developed by our top team of scientists at ACORD
Stellarios releases are located on Github, and ACORD members can download A-Stellarios (only for ACORD members) from the Gitlab Repository. Stellarios is a suite of software developed by ACORD Robotics.

ACORD has decided to move on from the Aardvark theme by Ghostpool, which we’ve used since March this year. We’ve moved to the Olympus theme, which is a very modern-looking template for Buddypress sites. Buddyboss (2016-17) » Buddyapp (2017) » Thrive (2018-19) » Aardvark (2019) » Olympus + Youzer (2019)
I was looking around for some good buddypress themes just out of interest on Wednesday or Thursday, and I came across a theme called “Olympus”. Now, I had no real intentions of changing the theme of the ACORD website from Aardvark - it had, after all, served me pretty well. The only real problem I had with Aardvark was the header menu, but that could easily be fixed, and the other members of ACORD had no problem with it.

Space is a huge place. With so much going on, there’s a few people that have trouble with understanding space. If you’re one of those people, have no fear, as help is here! Today we’re looking at Mercury! Check out the original post at http://acord.tech/8d455
Every week, I’ll upload a post on Medium to do with a particular object in space. We’ll start off with the planets of the Solar System, progressing to the moons and the sun, and then the asteroids and comets. After the Solar System, we’ll go over some of the greatest probes we’ve sent into space.

Star Sailors is going to be coded using a large number of coding languages, including:

To practice computer science and increase my development skills, I’m going to be creating a text-based Role Playing Game. It’s going to be created using Python, and can be found on Gitlab & Github. The Expert Goggles repo is my practice games and apps.

We’re very happy to have the new name for our operating system and applications - StellariOS.

I came into Saturday, March 30th, expecting a Samsung S8. I walked out of the store with a Samsung S10e and an Otterbox case for it. It’s a great device and will be used for testing out DroidOS features. I’ll be talking about AnDroidOS, a possible name for it once it’s released, what’s on my phone, the story behind this phone, and much more. Enjoy!
Backstory Around December last year, my OPPO A57 broke, and I returned to the iPhone 5s I had owned since August 2017. Shortly after this, I flew off to Melbourne to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th birthday. The night after that, my dad met up with a friend of his, Milenko, who he had known since high school (We’re originally from Melbourne). He invited dad and me out for dessert and he asked what phone I had. I told him I had an iPhone but I preferred Android and was looking to upgrade. He told me that this mother-in-law was going to be upgrading from a Pixel 2 to a Huawei Mate 20 and asked if I’d like the pixel. Of course I said yes.

ACORD News is a brand new site that we’ll be using to share other news to do with ACORD Robotics. While Star Sailors will continue to cover DroidOS development, Star Sailors news and robotic designs, ACORD News will be covering everything else to do with ACORD.
