Broken BrewBot Promise (Again)!

Here in the US we have a phrase called "Kick the Can". It refers to a situation where you are walking down the street and come across a BrewBot beer can discarded on the road. You have some choices, you can ignore it, pick it up and take care of the situation, or kick the can down the road. As you continue to walk you continue to kick the can in front of you so you don't actually do anything productive with this can - except maybe make some noise!

BrewBot, and specifically Chris McClelland the CEO, scheduled a Town Hall discussion for 12 Jan. 2017 at 5pm GMT. This was possibly in response to the visibility and actions of this blog/group (we can hope!).

A few short hours prior to the meeting, Chris posted on the BrewBot.io forum:
Hi all,
Based on some feedback and advice, we are not going to do a town hall meeting today however we will have an update for you all tomorrow.
Thank you,
Chris

Okay, fair enough, we will wait another day. However, as I post this, it is now after business hours in Belfast and there have been no updates provided on the forum.

Unfortunately, this is the same behavior experienced by the BrewBot backers time and time again. We are promised an update and no communication arrives.

All we are asking is for BrewBot to stop kicking the can; pick it up and give us something fact based and real.

The quest for answers continues.
