@jani.hirvinen gave a talk with a practical demo about UAVCAN at the ArduPilot Developer Conference on June 21st:

Key points that are most relevant within the context of the [current roadmap](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/uavcan-2019-roadmap/666):

- **At 16:16:** _“We need more optimized user interfaces”_. Ostensibly this is perceived to be an adoption roadblock. We are coordinating with the current adopters to secure funding for the next-generation user software for UAVCAN. Those who are interested are welcome to join the next dev call or wait for us to publish a finalized sponsorship proposal in the coming weeks.
- **At 19:05:** There are 15-20 models of UAVCAN equipment on the market, ~50 expected by the end of 2019.
