Release announcements like this one could benefit from a one line description of what your software actually is or does for those not familiar with it. And yes, I know that the GitHub Readme has one but I mean in the announcement directly.

My apologies for any confusion. I have now updated the post. Thank you!

It is easy to forget if you are part of the project since you obviously hear the project name dozens of times every week. I have fallen into that same trap myself with software I developed and/or use a lot.

Thank you for the advice :)

good ;) I knew what it was, but I think it can be very helpful for others.

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.
