Since its incep­tion, FreeCAD’s build and release process has been an entire­ly vol­un­teer effort. As the project has grown, how­ev­er, this has result­ed in ever more work for the vol­un­teers. Main­tain­ing the var­i­ous builds and releas­es is a most­ly invis­i­ble, thank­less process; but also one that is mis­sion-crit­i­cal. The FreeCAD Project Asso­ci­a­tion is pleased to announce that we have con­tract­ed with long-time FreeCAD devel­op­er Adrián Insaur­ralde (@adrianinsaval) to main­tain FreeCAD’s build and release infra­struc­ture. Adrián will be the main point of con­tact for all offi­cial builds and releas­es for the next year. 

I’m very excit­ed to be offi­cial­ly work­ing for the project, this grant will allow me to ded­i­cate a lot more time into the project and will let us get releas­es out smooth­ly through mul­ti­ple chan­nels and respond to user prob­lems more effi­cient­ly. The future of FreeCAD is bright and I’ll be sup­port­ing it’s dis­tri­b­u­tion to the best of my abilities.”
