So hey guys, I'm really glad to be back and share with you the first official outline for the lab series which is scheduled to start later tonight. We want to also take a moment to highlight it here that at the current moment, our email services has been temporarily suspended by the folks at Wix since we weren't able to pay for the most recent subscription. It's a challenge that I knew could happen when I first started OLS, so let's just say that as disappointed as I am about it, I have been mentally prepared for this eventuality.
Which is why we might be rescheduling our lab session tonight to next Wednesday, allowing us time to find a solution to our website subscription problem. As much as we want to, we would like to proceed with the live broadcast because there is just so much I would like to share with you about the PanelPilot Displays by Lascar Electronics, but I also don't want to risk the idea that halfway through the live broadcast, the feed gets interrupted because of the account suspension.
As a learning platform & community, we want to ask that you be patient with us as we work to resolve this challenge that is currently facing us.
Challenges Aside...The Show Must Go On
In spite of the challenges that we are facing, I am still going to be here, publishing articles for as long as I can until Wix either sponsor us for an entire year, or I can't publish anymore because the website gets suspended. But I will take a moment to share with you what I have in mind for the upcoming lab series schedule.
Please know this, as the lab series progresses in the coming weeks and months, there is a possibility that we might re-arrange some of our sessions so that the topics will fit in better with the one before it and/or the one after it. Which is also why we will not be going into the details of it, or more than 3 months at a time.

Summary
In closing, know that some of the sessions will have a title with it so that it can help the potential audience, learners, viewers to understand what the session is about. As much as possible, I will try to keep the learning topics structured in some kind of way that will be easier for you to follow along, whether you are following the live broadcast or if you are watching the recorded session.
Like how it will be with 4D Systems, we will also include a short pre-recorded video after each live broadcast that will show the steps of what to do (that was being explained during the lab series itself). Being in the early infancy stage of our learning platform, we understand that sometimes our existing setup might not be ideal to support the huge demand of viewers from around the world. But know that I am always doing the best that I can with what I presently have. Certainly with more sponsorship and donations in the near future, I will be able to put in the purchase for better hardware and equipment for the video streaming experience, but I ask for your kindest patience and understanding in the meantime.
Thank you everyone!
P.S. I have attached the live broadcast session from last Wednesday, so you can watch it again if you happened to miss the live session.
