Sinnamon

Sinnamon was an American female R&B vocal trio, consisting of Connecticut natives Barbara Fowler, Marsha Carter, and Melissa Bell from New York City. The group went through an abrupt development from a minimalist contemporary R&B sound of post-disco[2] which was dropped after a third release, moving towards mild freestyle and radio-friendly house music but still preserving their R&B affiliation. Bell is currently a writer, living in New York City.

gollark: No, the build system is a mess of shellscripts, a small amount of perl, a node.js program for Lua bundling, and a python script which generates the manifests/hash stuff.
gollark: Anyway, this should allow a working potatoOS™ install to be shipped as only threeish or fourish files!
gollark: It would be fully eldritch, but opening portals to the fourteenth plane is currently unavailable in Python.
gollark: I've actually managed to convert much of the potatOS code into a single file now! It's amazing what you can do with a somewhat eldritch build process and lots of fiddling!
gollark: Are you concerned about the security of P2P potatoUPDATES™?
