Status update on Overbridge [posted May 2018]

[jefones]

The update from Simon told us that there is now office wide testing of ob. This is the type of info people have been asking for but everyone seems to emotional too even acknowledge that there was actual news in his post.

Don’t care how AstroTurf taste or other dumb internet paradigms individuals use to excuse their actions. There are guidelines that everyone agreed to to join the board, civility and respect to the community is something you agreed too to be here.

You’re mad at elektron not at the people on elektronauts, we should all keep that in mind

I think in this respect it has been too little, too late. This thread was already pretty ‘loose’ before Simon made the unofficial announcement.
I mean, i appreciated that he reached out, but it was bound to not have a lot of impact.
The thread at that point already had over 500 posts.

Can we at least show some respect for those who are watching this thread for real, substantive discussion and updates, and have a little less meme-dumping ?

If they release Overbridge and it works you have my word I will never, ever post here again.

[jefones]

Hence back to the point I was making, if all the nonsense like the memes and people being facetious was not there the news would have stood out. Yeah the thread had about 500 post when Simon chimed in but as you said the thread had already been getting loose. This news would not have been lost if people had attempted to stay on topic.

Going from the ob team is trying to figure out what’s wrong to we are testing office wide is actually quite a bit of news.

I don’t have the energy to keep this exchange going, so if you need the last word go ahead, I’m over this discussion.

I wonder if some people are starting to feel silly about raging over the past week that OB is abandonware.

Probs not.

OB is still late for almost a year and we still don’t have eta for public release. Unfortunately it’s not time to feel silly yet… also the term many have used is vaporware, which is different from abandonware.

That said, I think it is good that the closed beta starts and hopefully it means OB will be stable enough for a public release soon - wouldn’t get my hopes up for a public release in the near future though.

I think many people in this thread should have felt silly immediately, but maybe that’s just me.

The first Overbridge took over a year to be released after it was announced. It had (I think) 3 working updated versions up to 1.15. v1.15 came out 14 December 2016. There have been no updates since. To date, 569 days.

The second Overbridge doesn’t exist yet. Count me among the people that think this is a bit justified.

You missed the end of the quote there

Happy announcement day everyone!

[Airyck]

I just want to say it’s almost Tuesday, can we lighten up a bit (to the sticks in the mud)?

Hey, what’s brown and sticky?

A Stick!!!

[lemons]

So… has the beta started already? How does OB2 look and work in its current state?

[jefones]

Latest update is here

Overbridge Beta sign-up is now closed

[image] Overbridge Beta sign-up is now closed. Thousands of thanks to all of you who applied. We will select applicants depending on which phase of the beta testing we are currently targeting. If selected, we will reach out by email when needed. Thanks again.

I haven’t received an invite but I assume the beta testers will have to sign a NDA or similar, so I am not sure if this kind of information will be found in this forum

[lemons]

beta testers will have to sign a NDA

Really? I would understand NDA if it was a private beta (which has probably been going on for some time already) but they have publicly announced this beta for their normal customers so it would make sense to let people tell about how well OB2 works and even post videos etc in Youtube about it.
