boards. Most are in the office but I have a couple on my workbench at home

would like to do what I can to get these boards sent out. As I understand
it, they have not yet been tested with Linux.
that's massively incorrect. several versions of linux were
installed and tested back in 2016. at least five OSes, plus
initramfs's with barebones additional commands (a trick i
learned from when i was doing HTC smartphone reverse-engineering)

it is, always has been, and will remain a community project
where i expect the community - not myself with no funds - to
take action.

absolutely not. hosting of "images" is a major security risk
and requires vast resources far beyond the meagre amounts of
money available.
there are however extensive build instructions to developers,
on the wiki.

all communication as a public FOSS project should be public
and never to me personally, it has *always* been a given for
the entire duration of this project that the very first thought
you or anyone should have is to contact the mailing list, *not*
myself, personally, directly, and certainly not privately
[should be obvious what the exceptions to that are: admin,
backers addresses and telephone numbers etc].

i am so sorry to have to inform you that my ex-parter was a
narcissist, embezzling money systematically, and her abuse
caused me to develop chronic adrenal fatigue syndrome that
resulted in me having at least two strokes. i had to report her
to the police (twice) after fleeing for my life last year.
she lied under caution when interviewed on the first assault:
the second is still under investigation.
in addition to that my former business colleagues turned out
to be psychopathic, and by manipulating my family members
and much more i ended up being assaulted, injured and almost
killed by staff at a psychiatric "hospital" through neglect,
forced-poisoning, and abuse. i have reported both to the police.
as if that was not enough, i have been forced into the
position of interacting with the UK NHS for the very first time
in my life aged 54, which due to autism has gone so
catastrophically badly that i am now up to a total of *EIGHT*
abusive doctors to report to the General Medical Council to
assess their fitness to practice medicine, and have the GMC's
support to provide them with the meticulous documented evidence
of abuse.
in addition to that, NLnet has *also* been abusive, violating
the Dutch Constitution, and has terminated funding. i am
reporting them to the Dutch Equality Commission and when i am
ready to do so (it is extremely risky for me, health-wise)
i will be calling the police to report them for Defamation
and Libel (criminal offenses in the Netherlands).
i am now focussed exclusively on staying alive, and carrying
out health research in order to recover.
if i receive additional funds i can still run a team of
people, however i will need help even finding that team, as i am
in absolutely no health position whatsoever to go running
around doing the work normally carried out by eight to ten
people, as i used to do and a considerable number of backers
assumed there was, all the time.
