Other good news: we're working on oracling which will allow IOTA to utilize smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Rootstock (a more comprehensive and exciting update about this will come soon).
There's also some rather big potential collaborations being established with companies that want to try out IOTA, but as usual I will not leak any information until it's guaranteed.
To every IOTA member: keep working on Proof of Concepts, finding companies that might be interested and looking for meet-ups/events in your area. Also join our forum at http://forum.iotatoken.com where we'll shortly move over to permanently and leave BTT to the speculators.
