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.)
http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2016-June/011100.html
(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
