Beta Testers Selected – Wave One
We took a big step forward today. We selected our first wave of 50 beta testers and I couldn’t be more excited. Thanks(!) to everyone for taking the time to apply for a slot. We were blown away by the quality of the submissions. If you were not chosen for this wave please don’t lose patience. The beta test program will continue to grow each month. So just because you were not selected this time does not mean there isn’t room for you. We just need to do it in stages.
Personally, this is a moment I’ve anticipated now for over a year. It’s enormously gratifying to see all the hard work finally reaching a stage where we can share it and get your insights We take this beta program very seriously. Our beta testers are really an extension of our development team and their input is invaluable. As such, the whole company (including me) will be actively involved and interested in the discussions.
Congratulations to the first wave of testers. We’re really looking forward to getting to know you, hearing your feedback, and building this vision of community electronics together.

Aarrgghhh…. More waiting.
Please!!
Will beta testers be allowed to post info/pics to give those of us not fortunate to find a gold ticket some eye candy to look at?
And will we be able to post questions and have beta folks give us a 2nd had view of the systems.

Shawn,
Sorry you didn’t get picked for the first wave, but don’t get dismayed, you aren’t too far down the list at all!
Yes, we’ll have a lot of public disclosure during and about the beta program!
Best,
Jeremy

Oh wow, you added some prototype images too. Very cool!!
What would also be helpful is to place something in the image to give us a since of the components relative sizes.
But thanks for the images it will give me something to dream about.
