Poor you, always having bad luck. I do hope you get well soon!

I know you are a little bitter about this, but let me say clearly, I think
you are doing a great thing with EOMA86 and appreciate everything you have
done so far!

When I joined linux-sunxi (via the arm-netbook IRC channel) it was on a
follow up from the XBMC A10 thread. I was very interested in the A10 as it
could potentially be a Free (libre) mediacenter. I initially even got a
Pivos with AMLogic but sold that since in favor of the A10. My first A10
device was a tablet I gotten that had the A10 by chance, hence my looking
into the sunxi community. While true, at this point the split already
happened I feel that this only as evolution.

Linux-sunxi focuses only on the SoC, Rhombus/Eoma around the eoma
specifically. What will happen if EOMA uses an AMLogic for the next
iteration (or rockchip). The A10 would have been let to rot a little. Now
there's a community around it. Sunxi seems to focus mostly on the olimex and
cubietech boards these days (as they gave dev boards to devs) and whatever
tablet of the week pops by.

So while I've heard the splitting of the two communities didn't maybe go the
prettiest of ways, it's healthy that it did.

More cooperation is only good and on that note, I wonder if EOMA et al will
be at FOSDEM 2014?
