TL;DR

We have 3 critical tasks this Kanban (relocate the business to Virginia, proceed with trademark work, and share Holoseat with Hackaday).  We are waiting on paperwork to come back from Virginia on the first and the second is in progress.  So, even though we missed a stand up and were late reporting this week, we are making good progress.  And, our testers continue to report positive experiences with Holoseat!
