 looks great!  comments:

 * please don't make comparisons to the raspberrypi.
 * also it's not $15 USD *price* - we're aiming for a BOM of $15.
 * please _really_ don't say "it's a race" or "it's a competition"
 * some of the images are stretched
 * can you please use "lkcl" not "LKCL" :)

so.

just:

* "Rhombus Tech aims to provide GPL-compliant low-cost open hardware"
* "Aiming for a BOM of $USD 15 for a GNU/Linux Computer"
* "Small form-factor Modular Computer (Credit-card size)"
* remove comparisons "another beagleboard or raspberrypi", images are
nice though.

i'd also put in an extra slide (Page 6) which says:

User-facing EOMA-68 Options
-------------------------------

* User-facing end of EOMA-68 Card can have sockets
* Space limit is 55mm by 4.8mm
* Examples
  - HDMI (2nd simultaneous display from EOMA-68 RGB/TTL Interface)
  - Audio (SPDIF, Headphones, Mic etc.)
  - Micro SD (extra storage)
  - USB-OTG (also for Power and Charging)
  - Video input (if supported by the CPU)
  - Anything else that fits into a 4.8mm height.


l.

p.s. the concept of "competition" was introduced into european society
by way of the ancient greeks, who inspired the romans: the romans then
conquered pretty much all of europe by way of doing things like
killing every 10th man in their *own* army ("decimation") if they ever
lost a battle.  in ancient greece, the fundamental basis of their
athletics competitions was that the (sole) winner was praised, and the
"losers" were *MOCKED*.  not only did the winner stand alone but the
"losers" were also denigrated and made to feel alone.  not a
particularly good system on which to found an entire society or to use
as inspiration for an entire continental culture, methinks.
