Hi Rod/Clint,

Any further updates? It's been two weeks (vs. the "few days" or "5 days" mentioned in your responses) and the AVNetExpress "promise dates" keep getting pushed farther out, without notice or explanation.

Thanks--

Total understand.  As you may be aware Circuitco has been involved with OSHW for over 8 years.

 

We are very excited about the 9 boards program and are comic red to making it a success and building a strong community.

 

Thank you for your passion and I am also aware of your support of these types of communities 

 

We are happy to have you on board!

Thanks for the answer and the clarification. It's more the lack of
communication and the feeling to be in front of a black box à la
Kickstarter that triggers my comment to the mailing list. I guess that
I'm not the only one in this situation.

I have waited for 4 months, at this point, I can probably wait for
another week or so! Hopefully, customers (including me) are about to get
those boards soon,

Grégoire
