Program Update: RoadTests and Covid-19

rscasny
rscasny over 6 years ago

Greetings to all Roadtesters!

 

Like many of you around the world, we have been affected by Covid-19 over the past week or so. At element14 in Chicago (where I reside and work), we are now working at home. Not particularly noteworthy in itself, but it has taken some time to adjust and rethink some of the ways we ship parts.

 

So, I wanted to make sure everyone knows that we are back on track and I'll be going through applications and we will be shipping parts again. ( danzima )

 

I want to thank you for your patience. I value your participation in the element14 community and, of course, the RoadTest Program.

 

Some of you have contacted me with questions. I am working through about 300 email messages, so I will try to respond as quickly as I can.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message.

 

Thanks.

 

One last thing: I've heard some of our members have been directly impacted by Covid-19. I hope you, your family, and anyone other people close to you a speedy recovery.

 

Randall Scasny

    Hi Randall,

     

    thanks a lot for the updates. I write from Italy and here too we have had a similar situation for weeks now. Being closed at home is becoming a great challenge for our work, but at the same time I think it is an opportunity to be used to devote more time to yourself, also cultivating the hobbies left aside and all those things that we have always said "I will fix when I have time".

    In recent days, for example, I'm reorganizing in my lab/garage a mountain of SMD and THT components inside many drawers, labeling and cataloging them.

     

    At the same time, I notice that in my country everyone is realizing everything that can be done online in a very simple and fast way, even if before the emergency it required unnecessary and long queues, going to different offices.

     

    In any case, I really hope that this epidemic can end as soon as possible, avoiding further victims and serious cases. I hope all of you can overcome this difficult phase and come back stronger than before.

     

    I wish you a good day and good work!

     

    Simone
