[Arm-netbook] EOMA68 - I have boards

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hello helen i am top-posting to help preserve your message,
i will start up my laptop to approve the membership (spammers)
over the next few days.

[i haven't provided details about what happened - i was almost
killed by medical negligence that was initiated by
DAVID CALDERWOOD, who manipulated members of my family
including my brother DANIEL LEIGHTON who then in turn
interfered with the process of extracting me from being
tortured inside a psychiatric ward, by intimidating people
helping me. no, not a joke: there are no euphemisms, untruthful
statements or exaggerations in this paragraph.]

leaving that aside.


specific request:

please can everyone *not* contact helen privately, this is
and always has been a community project, i have just had my
life devastated by NLnet seizing control of the running of
Libre-SOC, where it took two weeks to retrospectively
establish financial irregularites in their *private*
communication with other team members, after they refused to
consult me, the person with six years of administrative and
financial records knowledge.

it should be obvious we don't want that mistake repeated.

so, for everyone who has contacted helen privately please
forward your message again to the list: helen if you have
begun speaking technically with them please forward those
as well. yes it's a pain, but i guarantee if you're not
strict about this you will get very quickly overwhelmed
as you effectively de-facto "become" the project leader...
... with zero technical or historical knowledge... deprived
of the bitter-experience-learned resources needed to manage
any complex project.


if you encounter *any reluctance even silence* please
ensure you preserve those conversations - see three
paragraphs below. so sorry to have to ask that. anyone
and everyone who is on this list should know full well
it is a FOSS Project and there should be no hesitation
at all to speak freely and enjoy being part of the
technical community.

so, helen: if you are contacted privately please immediately and
respectfully insist that they forward the message to the list,
do *not* engage with them technically in any way (but don't
be curt with them about it - best to refer them to this
message). once they publish the message, *then* reply...
on-list only.

we need people to coordinate - helen you are not (sorry!)
technically familiar with this project, and need help
and guidance... *and so does everyone else*. the last thing
we need is communications errors / failures / assumptions,
and there is a perfect way to prevent that: *run as a
community FOSS project* - i.e. *public* not *private*
communication.

bottom line, you may be given *wrong technical advice*
and the only person properly qualified to identify and
correct such: me and no other person.

the exceptions i have already outlined previously (e.g.
crowdsupply admin, orders admin, addresses etc) *except*
a new one: if anyone feels intimidated *in any way* by the
threats made by people who have been devastating my life
and almost killing me multiple times (not a euphemism),
please contact me privately in strict confidence as there
is a crime of Perverting the Course of Justice under
investigation, and any reluctance to speak freely and
publicly without fear is *itself* crucial evidence.
(once i have a solicitor i will publish their details
in a followup if you are more comfortable with that, you
would then be able to speak privately with them)
