System Blue Order Status 12. August 2016

If I previously entered my information, will it be added to the reservation list, or do I need to enter it again?

I know - I've entered my email a couple times on the mailing list, but never heard anything in 18~20 months.  It would be helpful to know what locations are 'particularly interesting' or what position people are on the list.

Not complaining at all, I know Egon is busy - no doubt about it.  I have done small-scale manufacturing myself and know how hard it is to actually get to a shipping product.  It is very difficult in a limited amount of time allowed, especially if there is a 'real job' in the mix.

Perhaps it's time to entertain the idea that maybe Egon could release the firmware and board files to help take the strain off trying to manufacture the hardware?  This is obviously a popular project with many willing participants. I know it's hard to "let go" of the design files, but sometimes that's the best way to let the project grow.

Then he could be more free to manage data and make improvements - and make better use of his limited time.  It also sounds like there is trouble sourcing parts that are readily available in The States, and no sense wasting fuel shipping components around the world needlessly if they don't need to be.

Just a thought... I'm a big fan of the project!! It is a little frustrating not being able to contribute data for our area, that's all.  It's harder to be patient with such a neat project!!

Hello,

You have just to read the first post of this thread, and you'll know the current status !... :-)

I am having an issue with the forum not notifying when new posts are added to this thread or Egon changes the status of the very first post.  I signed up to monitor this thread for the specific purpose of ordering a new system

Agreed, I missed the 8th July 1st message update until now. I did get an email that the "how many boards?" message had been posted but that is all. The news about the reservation list I've also been unaware of. B-(

Is there a setting somewhere that needs a tweak to get notified when *any* message is posted or edited?

Well I just bunged my email in again. The system does know about me and gave me a rank of 448 of 448.

It also said "Your request will be treated preferentially, since you have allread (sic) submitted your email before 5th July, 2016." Presumably that means I'll get offered a system before anyone who entered their email after the 5th July despite having a very low rank.

After i subscribed about 2 years ago and after i never got any information about the sytem blue or anything, i entered my address again today.
I hope, you dont plan to produce only 500 sets. I just got rank number 538

In one week, I'm a few days in holiday, so the sale is expected in August.

Have a nice holiday, enjoy thunderstorms

I, too have entered my email multiple times over the last few years - never heard anything, never any response.

Is there a way for those of us who entered the email list years ago find out the order rank?

[JiPaul B.]

Yes. There it is :

Just put your email in the right place.
