Hi all, I checked in with Adele today, to ask about progress on the Amazon Echo licensing issue, and whether she had a rough idea when she'd be able to report back to us.
Adele was happy for me to pass on here that we're unlikely to hear anything further about this until September, as Wikimania is looming, and she will be off on a much-needed holiday after that. Adele added that the timeline really depends on the Amazon staff they contacted. While she will let us know as soon as she hears from them, the call required for this type of outreach will probably only happen in September.
