If not all aware just thought I would share the fact that this coming weekend and next week is the 10th Anniversary of the technolgy we know and love! LoRa! 
Looking through some old data for historic information a week or so back I came across this entry still in one of my private calendars:
What is the significance?
Well…(for newer users who may not know the history)…following the initial acquisition of technology company Cycleo (created by @nsornin and the team) in March 2012 (at the same time as they completed the much larger acquisition of the rump of Gennum Corp - some $25M vs $500/700M? IIRC, so almost unnoticed by some in the industry) Semtech did some early access sampling of devices and test systems to a select few companies - basically when I first saw and heard about the technology - before finally announcing the technology we now know as LoRa™ at Electronica, Munich, Germany in November 2012!
Pleased to say I was there at the birth so to speak 
And still have fond memories of some of the Semtech team - especially Hardy! - rushing from press briefing to press briefing, taking time out only for his Launch presentation at the event, and stopping by the Semtech booth, or indeed where-ever he could, to charge up the ‘Eiger’ test units that were being used to showcase and demonstrate the use of the technology (ST Dev platforms with a poorly implemented power management IIRC that would kill their batteries after a short time if left to discharge making them ever dependent on regular and frequent recharges if I remember correctly), today we are used to people regularly talking about 20 week, 20 months and even - with Lithium Thyanol Chloride batteries backed by supercaps - now heading towards 20 years in the field, these poor units once batteries deteriorated struggled to hit 20 hrs!
Back then SMTC had a UK office in Romsey, headed by friend of TTN and promoter/evangelist of the early CoLLoS work @RichL , near the south coast where I went frequently over the following few years.
The launch of LoRa generated quite a buzz and the rest as they say is history…LoRa MAC in C development between IBM Zurich and the SMTC Neuchatel team (hi Tim C, Seb L. et al, if you ever read this!) through ~2013/14, the first LoRaWAN GW POC’s, early recruitment for what was later to become the LoRa Alliance in ~2014/15, pre-announcing L-A at Cebit Jan 2015, with full launch at GSM World Congress Barcelona, March 2015, and TTN founded by @wienkegiezeman & @johan in summer 2015 of course!
And here we are today - 10 years later… we even have LoRa in Spaaaace! (@telkamp @RobSpurrett 
) Oh the memories! 
…Looking forward to the next 10 years as an evangelist and promoter for this great technology
