EOMA68 libre laptop and microdesktop, soon to launch

hi folks very busy here, also packing up as we're leaving holland, and been ill for several days *and* getting the portable 3d printer up and running - it's all happening. we're due to launch soon, and are applying for RYF Certification to cover the average end-user. spoke to josh gay about that, he confirmed that the FSF is in no way concerned about the average technical user (which all of us are here on arm-netbooks), it's when proprietary software is available and installed via an easy click-point interface with absolutely no warnings whatsoever. so we've worked out the procedures for applying for and then including a RYF-Certified product on the same launch page as the rest. it's very specific but we'll manage fine. nearly there, thank you to everyone for being so patient. EOMA68 is a long-term standard that has to be right first time it goes out. there's no possibility for correcting mistakes, as it would cause confusion. confusion automatically means failure so that can't happen. which is why i've had to bite the bullet, update the standard, and start again with the prototypes three times now, costing around $USD 10k each time. it is what it is. but i'm finally happy with the standard, the proof-of-concept, whilst in bits, works 100%, the modifications required are minor, so we launch. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68
