phoronix forum user violating terms of use, help needed keeping an eye on him
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/882… got a user violating the terms of use of the forum, could people please help out by "reporting" him. you'll see when you hit "flag" that you can put a reason in, and the description explains what's inappropriate: harassment, rudeness, fighting and so on. tia, l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

Getting the word out
by Mike Leimon 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Greetings all, I have been trying to help get the word out about the crowdfunding campaign the past few days and I am thinking that the crowdfunding campaign should probably be brought to the attention of the following people/groups: * Linux Action Show (podcast) http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/ The Linux Action Show guys, did have some quantity of discussion in the past (perhaps during their crowdfunding) and after release did finally do reviews of both the Purism Librem 13 and 15 laptops. I'm not 100% sure but, they seem idealistic enough that they might be willing to talk at some length on the project or perhaps even better, talk about the project and maybe even be willing to do an interview with Luke or Chris. Anyhow, their podcast is pretty solid and is done on pretty much a weekly basis from what I can tell. So check it out and if you think it's a good avenue to take, please contact them and see if they can help raise awareness of your project sooner, rather than later. * Linux Voice (magazine) https://www.linuxvoice.com/ I may be biased in saying that I think this is the best Linux magazine but, I'm going to go ahead and say it anyhow. This magazine got its start from a crowdfunding campaign itself (indiegogo). While it might be a large challenge to try and actually get a mention within their magazine (though that would have the best effect by far), they do also produce a blog and a monthly podcast (all of which would help raise visibility of the project). At this point, I'm thinking that honestly I'm not the best person to contact these groups and try to get things started but, I want to bring these ideas to the attention of the list. If there is somebody else out there who thinks that trying to contact these groups is a good idea then by all means, contact them and I hope they give this project some airtime. Hope these ideas help, -Mike

Other crowdfunding rewards
by Paul Boddie 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Sorry to keep sending suggestions during a very busy time! ;-) I noticed that one of the Trisquel list members made a suggestion about crowdfunding rewards: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/future-libre-computing-crowd-funding-campaig… starts-now#comment-99721 Although I intend to support this campaign because I actually want the products myself, there will be people who just want to support it in its own right. I had a conversation yesterday about this, in fact, after having seen another Crowd Supply campaign add some extra rewards: https://www.crowdsupply.com/knivd/ello-2m/updates/2233 (That's an interesting campaign all by itself, by the way.) Giving people the chance to say that they like the idea, to give more than $5 - yes I see that you can give multiples of $5 - and to maybe get more than a "thank you" but less than any of the main rewards, might broaden the base of supporters. Random merchandise might not be completely compatible with the ecological objectives of the campaign, at least if not done right. Then again, people do need to wear clothes, drink beverages out of containers, and so on. ;-) Paul

http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/news/ just went on local radio here, added a link. was a lot of fun - ernie clearly has a bee in his bonnet about the whole libre firmware thing, so it was great to be able to calm him down... a bit :) l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68
