We are overjoyed at all this feedback. We have a few really exciting things coming up that we would like to share:&lt;p&gt;1) We will probably release the SimpleCV 1.2 super packs next week. There are a ton of sweet new features. We could really use some beta testers. Please let us know if you are interested.&lt;p&gt;2) We just signed a book deal with O&apos;Reilly Media to make a SimpleCV guide. We are soliciting input from the community about what CV problems they need solved, or cool projects they would like us to do.&lt;p&gt;With respect to our business model, right now we are focused on quickly and cheaply delivering open-source machine vision solutions for manufacturing. If you have a manufacturing contact that has a machine vision problem and is looking for a solution we would love to talk to them. In the next month we will have a development scrum that will focus on our Seer product. Seer will the framework for deploying your computer vision projects in a cloud context. This means being able to remotely deploy and manage a vision system (i.e. CV as a service). Also along these lines we are actively looking for partners for the DARPA iFAB BAA that will be released soon (see: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;#38;mode=form&amp;#38;id=d1b63a1890d7c187590e695bc8457fd6&amp;#38;tab=core&amp;#38;_cview=1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;#38;mode=form&amp;#38;id...&lt;/a&gt;). If you are going to submit a proposal for this contract we would love to talk to you.&lt;p&gt;Since we&apos;re open source we welcome and encourage community participation and feedback. If you have a cool project or a pony request shoot us a message via twitter (@Simple_CV or @IngenuitasInc) and we can chat and perhaps help you with your project.</text></comment>

I&apos;m used to CV meaning &quot;curriculum vitae&quot; and it took me ~2 minutes to realize the site had nothing to do with it.&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;/me might be in the recruiting realm too long&lt;/i&gt;</text></comment>
