hiya folks ok much as a reminder to myself but also to let people know:
* looks like i'm going to hope2016 (http://hope.net) in new york
if anyone's in the area and is thinking of attending.
* i'm currently building mainline u-boot (working) and mainline
sunxi-next to see if it will work. i have a modified dtb
from the cubieboard2 which worked previously when i
tried a 3.15 nand rc5 fork by bbrezillon, it.. .ah... ended up
with corrupted nand at the time (from u-boot. oops).
* still TODO is a slashdot article, last one some people didn't
like (editors?) and dropped it into binspam....
* the comparisons laptop update i added both sets of suggested
mods (thanks to you both for the prompting).
we do have one more consideration here, someone has pointed
out that they're really not happy at the potential "personal criticism"
of the vera apparatus arm64 team... there isn't any (there's not
a single personal pronoun in the entire section). the update is
there to show the effectiveness of the ethics, approach and implied
(or explicitly-stated) committment to "open-ness"... and their
wiki is shut off, there's no mailing list... i don't know what to do
here because if i can't reach the team i can't offer them an
opportunity to say something... suggestions welcome.
* i'm thinking of putting the "pass through" card on the campaign,
approximate pledge amount $40 (because in low-volume expected
it'll be about a $20 BOM), that would turn the laptop housing into
a battery-operated screen, keyboard and trackpad for any smartphone,
USB-HDMI-dongle-PC, laptop or desktop PC. thoughts appreciated
on that one.
ok enough, feedback appreciated.
