Initially geared towards die-hard enthusiasts +only, each revision became more and more user friendly. The previous version +Sculpt VC already offered a glimpse of Sculpt's unique user interface in the +form of an interactive component graph. + +The just released Sculpt OS "as a community experience" (CE) combines this +tangible notion of component compositions with a completely federated software +provisioning model that cuts out middlemen like an app store or a +distribution. With Sculpt CE, components can be offered by a federation of +independent software providers selectable by the user. The software +installation is sandboxed and protected via digital signatures. The +integration of components with the rest of the system is completely under +control by the user. With the principle of least privilege at the heart +of Sculpt's architecture, you - the user - can fearlessly install and run +software without the need to ultimately trust the software providers. + +Sculpt CE is intended to work in tandem with the new community blog +[https://genodians.org - Genodians.org] where developers and users exchange +experiences and announce new software. The best way to watch how the +Sculpt story continues is the RSS feed of Genodians.org. + +To dive into the new world of Sculpt CE, +[https://genode.org/download/sculpt - download Sculpt OS...] + + Genodians.org | 2019-03-08 ##########################
