What happened to our illustrious leader?  :-//

Perhaps realized that should try to "organize steering and planning committees" and sharpen his leadership skills  elsewhere.

NANDBlog has hit the nail here,

I believe there are really some teams (likely within the existing industry, or something close to it) that are truly solving this problem. They also depend on the usual distributors to get the parts they need; similarly how the healthcare authorities are trying to source the masks wherever they can.

If 1000 different "open source" projects are bootstrapped, and 100 of them go far enough to start buying parts, it's possible this creates temporary shortages or delays the sourcing of the parts for those who actually need them - for those who otherwise are going to get the job done.

Don't play with a serious matter.

That's quite a piece of engineering.

"Bought, but SpaceX is spooling up to manufacture proportional solenoid valves for Medtronic (confirmed as critical today with chair & CEO)"
So it takes even a huge company that is known for their tight cycles and rapid development some time to start making this. Also, it has to be made, a simple ping pong ball valve won't cut it.

In my opinion, it's inconsiderate, somewhat rude and unprofessional. To just disappear like that.
The polite thing to do, would be at least to come on here, and explain what has happened. Even if you are throwing in the towel, and have given up.

I didn't want to put the following comment in, as I didn't want to negatively bias the thread.
But I will now.

I would have thought a person who is going to manage, something like this (apart from a forum, is probably NOT the right place anyway, it should really be a suitable pre-existing company or similar, such as a University, possibly).
The person needs to already have some or all of:
Medical knowledge (ideally Medical Electronics/Devices)
Engineering (especially Mechanical and Electronic)
Software (is a bonus)
Ideally understanding of gases/air flow etc. (pneumatics)
Management skills (ideally in a successful business environment)

The list above, could easily be wrong and/or missing items. Even to make the above list correctly, needs knowledge, skills and experience.
