Indie?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

https://ind.ie they have been on my hit list for sometime. I think/recommend they would make a very good partner. they have really good band & marketing. they handle user experience (software) and are building a strong brand. they have shown a strong commitment to free software ideas (gplv3) but I am concerned that the first phone might be status quo hardware (non-free drivers and firmware) but we/I shall see. There first software release is only on osx first, gnu/linux and m$ later. I guess thats the system they are currently more familiar with and future releases will be umm more preferable :D

Existing Projects, Products That Could Be A EOMA-68 Device
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 12 Oct '14

I find my self coming across projects that are using a SOM that I think could have been a eoma-68. all those lost orders that would have made all the difference in getting cards rolling off the production line at a preferable price and into many peoples hands. todays example: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modduo/mod-duo-the-limitless-multi-eff…

Microdesktop PCBs back from assembly

http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/micro_desktop/news/ ok so now we have: * EOMA68-A20 CPU Card * EOMA68-IC1t CPU Card * Micro-Desktop base unit testing begins when the micro-desktop base arrives, and the crowd-funding campaign will begin early next month if all functionality passes 100%. the EOMA68-A20 CPU card is not expected to require any rework (it's about the 4th revision as it is): the micro-desktop however is 1st revision and will need at least one minor correction (VGA connector). l.

A biggish 3D printer on kickstarter

A biggish 3D printer on kickstarter: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/wpt-3d-printer-professional-printer-for-… Big enough to print out complete eoma netbook or gadget box for USD600 (with all the risks of spending money on kickstarter projects). 250x250x300mm print volume I ordered one :)

Typos and flex funding. I wouldn't touch it personally.

Flexible funding always strikes me as missing the point of a crowdfunding campaign and treating the crowdfunding site as merely an advertising and preorder site. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook(a)lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netbook(a)files.phcomp.co.uk

3D printable laptop (raspberry pi project)

3D printable laptop (raspberry pi project) out: http://liliputing.com/2014/09/pi-top-3d-printable-raspberry-pi-laptop-crowd… Its going for crowd funding. Close to what I had in mind for a 3D printed EOMA netbook but a little more flair needed with the case styling and more features rather than just a bland copy of a box with a lid. Better get a move on with openscad scripting Luke :) Things are moving on fast.. This PC also out and it seems very fast compared to previous ARM: http://liliputing.com/2014/09/mk902-ii-le-tiny-ubuntu-pc-rockchip-rk3288-cp… (No sata on it as far as I can tell.)
