# Notes
- 1.0 release
  - Python 3.8, still launches. Works on Linux and Windows, will launch. Windows 7 launches
  - Stable enough for testing. Some minor changes in the UI need testing.
  - More technical issues. Patterning and timing issues. 
  - Adrienne can't flash to interface on the current build but could on previous builds from Winows, will work with the shield
  - Sam, latest release doesn't work on M1, won't work on recent OS versions of Intel Macs.
    - Intel Macs, rejected by the system, "not supported on this OS" previous build (end of June) worked fine 
    - Only big change was switch to Python 3.8, maybe some changes to the build system.
    - FBS and Py installer updates, Sam is going to take a look.
  - Windows and Linux work, we can focus on Mac
- Sonarcloud, static code analysis
  - 0 code smell in desktop software
  - No hard requirements to fix these issues, but would be nice to have
  - Only analyizes the changes, not the whole codebase
- 270
  - Values PR went in
  - Unifying code paths now
  - Currently having misspatterning issues.
- Hardware
  - Merged PR for ESP32 hardware schematic, going to iterate from there
  - Needs github actions for diffs
  - No milestones or timing setup yet
- Grant application
  - Not this year, but next year
  - Parsons professors might be interested
  - Market research people might be interested
  - Networking
  - Phases for project development, Phase 1 is exploratory, Phase 2 is building out. AYAB is between the two at the moment
  - Open source ecosystem is based on size of project. Needs governance and structure for decision making and involvement.
  - Meant to help grow the project and build the structure
  - Funding potentially for: market research, pay developers for testing and documentation. Not for actually developing features, not for people outside the US.
- From the VCF
  - Nintendo prototyped knitting machine attachment, never made it into production
  - One guy who has more info in English, working on a prototype
  - Another guy who showed up the Bay Area meetup (long ago) had a 910 hooked up to a Nintendo using AYAB as a starting point
  - Lots of people interested in the Arduino and internals
  - Applied for 2nd weekend of Maker Faire
