Next Wednesday (May 6th) at 5pm BST (9am PT), the OpenJS Foundation are hosting an Ask Me Anything session with @dceejay and me all about Node-RED. It'll be streamed on YouTube.
I realise if you're reading this then you already have the ability to ask Dave or me anything you want here... but this is a good opportunity to ask any bigger questions you may have about the project - its past, present or future. And then watch Dave and I try to answer them live on the internet.
Our colleague @johnwalicki will be moderating, and we can trust him to pick out the most awkward to answer questions you have for us.
If you'd like to submit a question, please do so here: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScctK16rBb9XtZ1XhO6Ue3Nll-pRNCRuZ28u4xqcobyr3gguA/viewform](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScctK16rBb9XtZ1XhO6Ue3Nll-pRNCRuZ28u4xqcobyr3gguA/viewform)
That form also includes the link to the YouTube stream - but I'll share that again nearer the time.

I want to participate -- not because I have any questions but because I want to hear what you people all sound like. 🙂 But who knows, maybe I'll have a question by then...?

Absolutely - it'll be streamed on the Open JS Foundation's YouTube channel.
You don't have to ask a question to take part - but please do consider submitting a question otherwise you'll just hear Dave and I rambling about our cancelled holiday plans.

Interesting hearing history and perspective from the horses mouths (so to speak).
Some interesting thoughts about groups being potentially distributed. No idea how that would look or work but I fully see the benefits and opportunities that would bring. 👏👏👏
Thanks Nick and Dave.

... indeed... same here ! (or we would have done it already 🙂 - but hopefully the jigsaw pieces are starting to come together.

Yes. T-shirt was from the great guys at Rapanui whose whole t-shirt factory runs on Node-RED. Production lines, order handling, everything.

I'd like to hear Nick playing the "Node-RED Master Theme" 😃

@Steve-Mcl The Rapanui team are really good people. Their whole ethos is around sustainability. Dave and I got to tour their factory on the Isle of Wight last December - was really fun seeing all of the Pi's doing their thing and Node-RED Dashboards dotted around the place - [https://twitter.com/knolleary/status/1205176648104128513](https://twitter.com/knolleary/status/1205176648104128513)
@ghayne an ancient Yamaha PSS-460 that I had growing up that my son has started playing recently. The joys of home schooling when I'm working at my desk and he decides to do some keyboard practice...
@hotNipi hmm... we could do with a startup noise whenever you open the editor... I'll start composing something right away. The community can thank you for suggesting it.

On top of that, Rapanui is just ruining you for other clothes because it's the softest clothes I've ever owned. The whole ethos around sustainability and additionally them running on Node-RED are just bonuses to me. I've since been a very happy customer 🙂
