Every other week, we hold a video conference call that anyone can join, in which we discuss the product roadmap, writing SmartApps, recent happenings on the platform, and take questions from people in the community.
The last one was cancelled but we will be having the next now tomorrow as scheduled. (they happen every other week). Join in 8pm EST / 7pm CST / 5pm PST tomorrow night.
Wish I could join it this week… Unfortunately, priorities… San Diego Comic-Con preview night is at the same time… I could try to join the call during the opening, but the screams of 100,000 fans running by my booth might be a bit of a distraction.
If any ST folks are at SDCC, stop by booth 5567 and ask for me. I’ll give you something special
Some of the topics we covered were in the video description but not really a good summary. Many things were only briefly touched on too. Here is that list:

Logitech Integration progress report (Luke)
Announcement of SmartApp Workshop (Aug 6 and 12)
Windows Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile interfaces (Kyle)

New siren (Everspring) and smoke detector, Netatmo, Foscam
New connected devices outreach to device makers (Urman)
New ST device lineup (tease)

REMINDER: Tomorrow night’s (Aug 6) Developer Discussion will be replaced with a SmartApp Workshop from 6pm to 8pm Eastern.
Because space is limited we are sending invites to people who completed the Application Form. (you may still apply to attend with that form until the end of the day today.
If you cannot make it or miss out - don’t worry we will be holding these virtual sessions periodically as well as events in various parts of the country.
I thought they were discontinued or something. I really enjoy them even though I don’t have the time to join in.
