Yes, you can absolutely count on me to help in any way possible. I'd love to be a part of closing the loop on what we started all those years ago. I've been much less active recently it would be an honor to help you kick of the next stage.

Hi Rich, A big +1. To scale out, we may also refer to how Arduino Day operates 659 events in 106 countries on March 16 2019. I helped out and participated Arduino Day 2019 - Beijing. Please see more details in https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fday.arduino.cc%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C586ed0cd64754d8cf99508d6af328e09%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636889028990000250&sdata=hANvCxFPhYvJVAD%2FHg%2BfW3tWAMbRQ5TQ1M82CNkTIHM%3D&reserved=0 Best regards, Ted Liu, ASF Member, Sponsor Ambassador, Incubator PMC Member 2019 年 3 月 23 日周六 1:00，Rich Bowen<rbo...@rcbowen.com> 写道： On 3/22/19 12:59 PM, Kevin A.
