Michael Steinmann Wrote:In the next few days, we will be releasing the full source code to be able to build your own DM42 firmware. All components of DM42 will be open-sourced. We think that this is the right thing to do and hopefully with the help from community, we can accelerate the development of DM42's software on Github.

Full source code will be available at: http://github.com/swissmicros/DM42.

Personally, I would say that "few days" means 3 to 8 days. It has already been two full weeks and the github page still shows the 404 not found message. I think it is reasonable to request that Swiss Micros update their announcement if additional delays are expected. I don't mind patiently waiting, but I would prefer to have a more FOURTHCOMING estimate of how long that wait will be. After all they didn't say "few weeks" they said "few days".

Why not post topics such as this on the SwissMicros forum, which we know Michael monitors? You're more likely to get an answer, no one can say the question wasn't seen, and the discussion will hopefully not escalate. It's a very reasonable question IMHO, I was hoping for some status update too; but also IMHO, asking it late on a Friday, when Europe is already close to midnight, is bad timing; hopefully folks can wait until next week for a reply to Barry's question without feeling a need to pile-on.
