Hello again,

I've also posted a message to the FSFE discussion list about the campaign:

http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2016-July/011110.html

There have been some discussions on that list about open hardware and the 
threats posed by proprietary hardware and the surveillance features of various 
CPU families, notably these threads:

(Featuring an attempt to fund a POWER8-based workstation.)

(Hopes for "truly free processor architectures", which might not be such a 
fantasy after all, given improvements in Free Software for programmable logic 
and synthesis.)

I rather hope for a solid discussion of the merits of the campaign, as opposed 
to people just claiming that it can't be done, won't work, or whatever.

Paul
