woo-hoo! :) anyone who looks closely at the numbers and who knows that i've been talking constantly about a MOQ of 250 EOMA68-A20 cards should have done a little math in their heads, "74 + 41 = 115", 250 / 115 = 2.17, $30k * 2.17 = ...... --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

hi manuel would you be happy to translate, "it is good that someone understands and i am happy to be able to reduce frustration for you - thank you with much gratitude" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <admin(a)xataka.com> Date: 2016-07-12 23:52 GMT+01:00 Subject: http://www.xataka.com- Nuevo comentario en: El cerebro de muchos de tus gadgets cabe en una cartera: EOMA68 To: lkcl(a)lkcl.net Hay un nuevo comentario en el post: El cerebro de muchos de tus gadgets cabe en una cartera: EOMA68. http://www.xataka.com/makers/el-cerebro-de-todos-tus-gadgets-puede-caber-en… Autor: isacdaavid Comentario: Pues yo sí voy a ordenar una tarjeta para remplazar mi Beaglebone Black que murió hace unos meses. Estoy harto de que mi hardware viva al margen de lo que la suerte y los esfuerzos de ingeniería inversa como Libreboot logren para hacer funcionar las cosas con software libre.¿Para qué seguir apoyando a Intel o RaspberryPi/Qualcomm cuando hay proyectos como EOMA que realmente comparten mis preocupaciones? Es obvio que un proyecto pequeño con volúmenes de fabricación de unos cuantos miles de chips nunca va a ganarle en relación costo-rendimiento a los gigantes del mercado, pero ese no es el punto. Son hipócritas todos los que se quejan superficialmente de la obsolescencia programada, el vendor lock-in, el espionaje masivo y hasta los problemas ambientales; pero que luego le ponen peros y críticas a las soluciones que se nos presentan de vez en cuando. Los consumidores que sólo andan en busca del último core i7 con puerta trasera incluida para presumir sus juegos defectuosos de Steam a sus amigos son la verdadera raíz del problema.

hiya folks, ok so just a quick update: aross, i noticed the huuge number of social media and forums that you were on last week, really really appreciated. chris havel, thank you again for the artwork. after over 10 days, two key discussions are still ongoing which is great - trisquel and phoronix. the trisquel one's very supportive, the phoronix one is a very interesting free-for-all :) i'm beginning to get overloaded and it's affecting my health, so i am going to need to be a leetle more careful, i don't want communications to be adversely affected because i'm overloaded, so have put in motion some exercises / routines to deal with that (lots of relaxation). we've got a couple of articles coming up soon with major publications. more are needed. mostly, i just want to say thank you to everyone who's been helping out. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

Press Kit?
by GaCuest 11 Jul '16

Is there a press kit? I want to translate the press release, and send it to some Spanish websites if they want to publish it. I searched it on Rhombus-Tech and I have not found anything.

crowd funding updates
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 07 Jul '16

hiya folks, ok so we're at 12% now which on a linear line basically still just puts us on target *just* within the campaign's time limit, and assuming the same numbers are pledged we'd be looking at 500 CPU Cards, 275 microdesktops and 140 laptops. which is not bad at all. we would juuust about be ok with that because some of the critical components (the PCMCIA socket for example) are shared between the microdesktop and laptop PCBs, and 500 computer cards is _great_, that would make a factory comfortable to do those kinds of quantities. ... that's assuming that it doesn't go nuts over the next few weeks and we hit 2500+ easily. i need to write this up as an update #3 oh btw are people following these? https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop/updates l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

Enlightenment DE?
by Alexander Ross 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

I believe it works without 3d accel but the latest release is about using wayland so im not so sure what the direct its going nor about its current no 3d accel usage? played with it on my laptop, with the menu app window thingy it makes for a gnome-shell alike experience :). I think the desktop could even be replaced with a cool menu thingy... i forget... If ya can get it working, despite the other 1000s of other jobs ya got, it might make for a cool picture/video of a more modem, fancy DE running on it ;) if it was in the repo when/after they ship, me thinks its gonna be the first thing i install :D
