I seem to add an occasional "hey hows it going" thread, when things are this quiet for such a long period of time. Maybe its too fan the flames and get new and interesting topics going, or maybe its to remind DJ and EZ Robot, that we are still here. Or maybe its hoping for an update on products, or Ez builder....or all the above?!
So how goes it EZ Robot...whats the word on the street?
Daddy why it won't stop raining ? ... now I understand why...
Josh can you please stop doing that!
You are doing the wrong dance!
OK I'm back from Avengers and now my interest has peaked on this subject. @DJ at what point do you feel the community will get involved with the process? I'm offering my involvement/info/query on what ever this announcement will bring.
I'm going to write a new thread and introduce what's going on. I'm only writing the post on this forum and it won't be shared externally. This is an initiative for this community, not edtech - so youll hear it first.
Expect it posted by the late evening tomorrow October 20th 2018
