Vikingboard joins the GoPHP5 initiative

Posted July 16th, 2007 at 23:40 by jorgis.

Woha, 2k downloads!

Posted March 12th, 2007 at 21:40 by Marius.

Time to pop open the Champagne, bring out the gigantic cakes and fire up some fireworks!

Posted March 18th, 2006 at 20:04 by Marius.

After running a bit late with the release of Vikingboard 0.1, we are now in the final phase of finishing of the design (which was a major holdback for us) as well as rest of the software. As we are currently a bit short of staff and variations of servers to test Vikingboard on, we [...]
