[09:25] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Hi Team. I caught up with the Kubuntu Focus guys on Tuesday. Here is an update on progress.
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Sales continue to grow, customers include Vector Aero, NASA, Jet Propulsion Lab. Lots of interest from Data Science, and AI/ML research market sector
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> - Second model launched the XE, this has developed interest in other sectors, it's early days but US Government departments are interested.
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> - The Original M series is now at M2 Gen 3 so that's the second M series, and is now on its 3rd generation. The latest machine is mind blowing!!
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Kubuntu Focus team is preparing their pathway to deploy on 21.10 LTS Yay!!
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Noticeable change in media, with articles detailing Kubuntu Focus as a Vendor, now provides a message of legitimacy
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Seeking first-round VC, with a plan to scale via direct sales, along with a program for business leasing, with post lease purchase options.
[09:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> They're doing well it seems
