<!channel> as I think this is relevant to anyone who has submitted or is thinking of submitting a design in ChipIgnite. 1) I was informed that as at Feb 17th the designs for ChipIgnite 2211Q hadn't been submitted to Skywater yet for manufacturing. Considering that the deadline for submission to efabless was early December, this means a delay of at least 2 months - no reason given as to why so, especially considering this is a paid for service. 2) Was also told that as a result of this the expected delivery date is now August 2023, instead of March 2023. This is a 5 month delay - just to put this in perspective, expected delivery date for the next ChipIgnite run, 2304C, is July 2023 as per efabless website (before 2211Q?!?). 3) No notification / announcements / emails received since submission - all this info was obtained by asking different people at efabless - which is very inefficent. Also tagging @jeffdi @Nathan Pier @Tim Edwards @Matt Venn in case there are any updates/feedback.

Hi Andrea, thanks for your feedback. Please see my direct message to you in Slack so we can address your concerns.

I've just seen this new shuttle status page : https://efabless.com/shuttle-status

Thank you for posting this Andrea. I too have submitted on 2211Q and am also extremely disappointed with these arbitrary delays. While I understand the scope and limitations of these tapeouts, such delays with absolutely no communication from ChipIgnite is extremely unprofessional for a paid service. When can we realistically expect these chips back? Why has there been such a massive delay? @Nathan Pier

@Matt Venn a step in the right direction, thank you! Next step is keeping it up to date

@Adil Malik We are setting up a Zoom meeting with Andrea to discuss the delivery updates and answer questions. If you would like to join the meeting, please message me with your email address so I can add you to the calendar invite. We are planning to meet on this coming Wednesday, March 1st at 5:30PM GMT.

Hello @Nathan Pier, I hope you are doing fine. It would be great if you could summarize and share the information relevant to the 2211Q mpw participantes discussed during the meeting.

@Jorge Marin Thanks, hope you are doing well also. The email that we recently sent out gives a summary of the issues that we discussed in the meeting that are affecting the delivery schedules. If you have more questions then feel free to let me know, and we could schedule a similar Zoom meeting with you if you would like.

Hello @Nathan Pier, it would be great to have a short chat to plan our next steps. I'll send you a PM.
