From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They had monthly updates almost 2 years straight. They weren't big but they had the latest news. The fact they suddenly went quite with little community engagement is concerning to me
Most orgs can't have someone doing marketing full-time.
If its one update per year, they're alive and focusing on the important stuff
Except this is incredibly uncharacteristic for Pine64. They rely heavily on volunteers
Sometimes this can just be that the person driving engagement has moved on or shifted focus. I don't think it's a large company by any means.
To me that just signifies the company has stabilized and no longer needs to put out statements constantly to keep eyes on them for marketing reasons.
