Fundraising and campaign status (and wiki authentication)?
by Paul Boddie 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

I saw a collection of recent updates on the wiki, although the URL in the following page is wrong: http://rhombus-tech.net/fundraising/ Where... https://crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro_desktop ...should be... https://crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop I tried to authenticate myself using various mechanisms in order to edit the page, but... * OpenID didn't work with the Python Package Index OpenID provider * Google have discontinued their OpenID 2.0 support (yes, thanks Google for breaking the Web again!) * Wordpress claimed that I don't own my own username Particularly the last one, but also the first one, sounds more like communications issues between the wiki and OpenID providers. I guess I could register, but I thought it might be helpful to indicate a possible problem. Paul

15in laptop casework progress

http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/news/ getting there. redesigned the central spar to be more structural support, to help prevent torsion and to give the back edge part something to get its teeth into. a beefy touchpanel holder worked out well for keeping the front edges in place, so this was replicated at the back as well. l.

Any progress?
by Paul Boddie 29 Jun '15

Luke, others, Has there been any recent progress on the crowd-funding campaign or on other things? I know there's been a little off-list correspondence about Gratipay, which is peripheral to everything else, but for the benefit of anyone following the list (either as a subscriber or reading the archives) an update might be informative. From what I've seen from following other lists, there's progress on Linux device tree support for various Ingenic JZ-series SoCs, which might have a beneficial impact on any jz4755 card that is produced. My own experiments with the jz4720/30/40 have stalled somewhat for the time being, but I'll get back to them at some point, I imagine. Paul

15.6in laptop casework print started
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 29 Jun '15

so after a looong time designing and testing, i began 3d printing the first parts of the full-sized 15.6in laptop casework a few hours ago. the longer edges fit just across the diagonal of a 200x200mm mendel90 with 10mm to spare. the glass is not properly flat but acceptably enough for the part to grip in each corner. the middle strut and back edge are done already, and the left-hand edge is underway. the back edge needs to be re-done already: the smaller "test runs" of the past few months were able to iron out the majority of possible errors however there are still things that need fine tuning. most of the fine-tuning i will leave until i have at least a completed demo which i can assemble around the screen, keyboard and touchpanel. l.
