Tonight we'll do podcast #28, which everyone here is welcome to participate in by listening to the chat live above and commenting and asking questions via the DIY Drones chat function. We'll be starting at 10:30 PM PST and will probably go about 40 minutes.

This week we'll by joined by Doug Weibel and Jason Short, the team leaders of the ArduPilot and ArduPilot Mega code project. They're the ones working hard on getting the APM Beta ready for release at the end of the month (alpha is already out, of course), and will talk about the design and feature decisions they made with APM, as well as the roadmap for 1.0 (in September) and beyond.

This is a great one for questions from the community, so please take advantage of the chat function. We'll keep our eye on that window and ask the team questions as they come in. Apologies for the later hour than usual, which I know is hard for people on the East Coast. The later time is due to a DevTeam meeting that comes before it; it will be a long night of Skypeing for the team!

As always you can subscribe to the podcast here. Tonight's livecast will be recorded and available as a podcast by Tues of the next week.
