"jdr0dn3y [12:44 PM]
We are still monitoring slack. Currently, we are working on organizational details and hiring. Filing for non-profit status, identifying marketing and conference opportunities, among other things. We are planning on getting back to the code beginning of august, to start releasing some new things. We may have a beta release coming later today, if I can get to testing it."
