Conclusions from the meeting last night we're that we're going t o modify the boards with the new changes (USB, audio) to make it conform to the R3 better and send them out. We only have about 20 boards to distribute, so there won't be enough for everyone. But we're going directly to form factor boards for the R3 next, so we will make some dozens of them to satisfy everyone interested in hacking that and likewise with the 442v2 which will happen shortly thereafter.
