We’ve been getting a lot of emails from artists who want to submit work for Bus-Tops lately. A blog post for submissions was made during our development phase and is still the place to add ideas, but just to be clear: We are not yet in a position to consider any ideas. Here’s a very rough timeline of our work to come:

• December 2009 – August 2010: Hardware prototyping and testing
• September 2010 – February 2011: Manufacturing and testing
• December 2010 – March 2011: Web and mobile software development and testing
• April 2011- June 2011: Closed software beta to artists and developers (we will do our first run of curating during this period)
• July 2011: Launch: Curated work and work created by artists during the beta phase to form the first ‘run’ of work to be displayed
• July 2011 – August 2012: from launch onwards all the tools to create and view content for/from the canvases will be live and public

Please keep in mind these are rough estimates of timings to give you a working guide to when you can expect to be able to participate. As we go through each of the processes we will be updating our progress here on the blog so you can see where we are with things.
