I just wanted to quickly let you know that I'm back at work since this morning, trying to wade through what accumulated in my inbox, the forums and the issue tracker and looking forward to a productive 2019 with you :)

Happy new year! Starting a new year, and starting as Patreon, i would like to know about the long time goals of Octoprint: Are You all alone, or do you have a commity of people to point out long time goals for the project? Do you have a cooperation with people like Josef Prusa and other successfull reprap entrepreneurs, which could help you find long time goals? - If i ask questions already answered otherwhere on the net, just point me in the right direction!

Hey John, a lot of these questions are answered in the interview Tom Sanladerer did with me recently: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qytk8_JpYyQ." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qytk8_JpYyQ.</a> But as a quick tldw: I'm pretty much doing most of the core development alone but of course there are a lot of great plugin authors out there who do their part to make the ecosystem thrive, and I also get the one or other contribution from others. With regards to cooperations with companies, Aleph Objects Inc (the people behind Lulzbot) are currently the only corporate sponsor, but there are also some more regular contributions from companies listed here: <a href="https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/blob/master/SUPPORTERS.md." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/blob/master/SUPPORTERS.md.</a> The long time goal is first and foremost keeping things running, adjusting to firmware changes and fix bugs. But also adding more ways to extend OctoPrint and better tailor it towards the multitude of workflows it's being used in out there.
