Flamewar. Somebody call the Firbirgade!

The way I see it. Everybody already got scorched.
1. Aaron, your idea for a opensource KDE tablet failed twice now.
2. Luke, he put a lot of energy, into this project.
3. Luke's associate, whom ever that may be, for taking the challenge
4. The factory, QiMod?, for not getting the order they thought they get
5. The community here, "arm-netbooks", due to weeks/moths of silence and
then being presented with failure and a blame-game/flamewar

I think that's enough burn marks for everyone.

Thus far I only see mis-communications, or the failure to recognize what
the other party receives out of the communication.

I often think that my story is absolute and complete. But how true that may
be to me. It doesn't mean it is complete or clear enough that the recieving
party understands my story, even if they think they do.

Luke, I get this endeavor is frustrating and painfully slow and full of
pitfalls, You try get your idea, dream, to reality. But when it goes to
slow you get from pulling into a pushing mode. I relate to that, I'm dutch,
but in the end it always bites me. One can control only one person,
yourself, and even that control is limited, the rest need persuasion, and
that requires patience and observation.

Aaron, you took over this project and got it underground or relocated. For
the sake of speed or funding, whatever. But it went completely silent here.
Although you may believe you haven't been hiding anything, including
yourself, I, personally, don't think you have been open and forthcoming
enough. Thats all.

I wonder were we are right now.

EOMA68 Standard. Is it complete enough to call it version 1.0?
EOMA68-Allwinner A20 Card. Is it production ready?
 1. PCB?
 2. Parts?
 3. Casework?

EOMA68-Freescale IMX6 Card. Is it production ready?
 1. PCB?
 2. Parts?
 3. Casework?

Interface Board, MEB. Is it production/hacker ready?
 1. PCB?
 2. Parts?
 3. Casework?

The iMX6 development is becomming increasingly active in the OSS community,
CuBox-I/C1/HummingBoard, Novena, Utillite.

Even the GPU has a OSS Driver on the right track.

Lets be friends and start pulling the cart together.

I know funding is always a problem. Crowdfunding is only viable when having
a working prototype. Let find a way to circumvent that.

I really hope that is becomes a realty. But maybe it gets superceeded by
PhoneBloks/Project Ara. Who knows. I really wonder how they are going to
fit a SoC + Memory on such a small form. Or are they going to serialize
memory access as well? We'll see.
