Kevin Mihelich is currently Arch Linux ARM's primary developer.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.archlinuxarm.org/about/team | title = Team | accessdate = 2014-12-11 | website = archlinuxarm.org}}</ref> Arch Linux ARM is community developed, with software development and user support provided fully by volunteer effort and donations.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.archlinuxarm.org/donate | title = Donate | accessdate = 2014-12-11 | website = archlinuxarm.org}}</ref> Also, unlike other community supported operating systems such as Ubuntu, Arch Linux ARM has a relatively small user base, making user participation in development especially important.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/arch_compared_to_other_distributions | title = Arch compared to other distributions| accessdate = 2014-12-13| website = wiki.archlinux.org}}</ref>
Arch Linux ARM has a rolling release cycle, i.e. new software is packaged as it is released.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.archlinuxarm.org | accessdate = 2014-12-13 | title = Arch Linux ARM}}</ref> This "bleeding edge" release cycle of small, frequent package updates differs from release cycles of Linux distributions such as [[Debian]], which focus on large, scheduled releases of packages proven to be stable.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/arch_compared_to_other_distributions | accessdate = 2014-12-14 | title = Arch compared to other distributions}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.viaspringboard.com/blog/2014/04/21/arm-operating-systems/ | accessdate = 2014-12-14 | title = A survey of ARM operating systems}}</ref>
