Hi John, I am interested in this platform and its potentiality but I do understand there is likely some learning curve! Is there any update on Portland? I was wondering if this was alluding to an e-NABLE conf.?

Hello! I am currently living in Utah, USA and have experience in mechanical engineering, manufacturing process improvement, and running student organizations (recently graduated 1 year ago). Hopefully we will be able to bring more e-NABLE users together!

Hi! I joined e-NABLE in early 2014 and have made over 50 e-NABLE devices, including hands for about a dozen recipients (the rest were produced for various e-NABLE events, workshops, etc.) My company, 3D Universe produces assembly materials kits for the most popular e-NABLE designs and offers them at a discount to e-NABLE volunteers. So far, over 5,700 of these kits have been distributed around the world! 3D Universe also developed (and continues to develop) the e-NABLE Web Central application (https://www.enablewebcentral.com).
In addition to making e-NABLE devices, I serve as chair of e-NABLE’s Strategic Planning Committee, I provide support within the e-NABLE Google+ community, and I help Jen Owen to administer the enablingthefuture.org website. I give regular talks and presentations about the e-NABLE community and host e-NABLE workshops at local schools and libraries. I also produce video tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsaNLYwo4AA5JSAKDFzeybgZ2W1k7IBwO) to help other e-NABLE volunteers.

Around July 1 the SPC, used Loomio to review our priorities for the Portland meeting. I've seeded a repeat-poll with the top four priorities that emerged. But everyone can express views and and propose priorities too.

4 years ago I founded e-NABLE.
Our biggest challenges are now in distributed decision-making coordination. I'm hoping we can address this by adopting tools and practices like Loomio.
