Hey Luke,
As I eagerly await the preproduction board, I figure it would be a good idea to touch base on what needs doing on the software side.
hmmm well having someone confirm that the OSes run would be good (wih systemd removed as an absolute top priority, sole exception being fedora).
next up would be working on a distribution mechanism for the images. my feeling is, setting up a bittorent network, a simple (SMALL) script/image that self-boots then grabs the image and drops it onto the target sd card.
or... some instructions on how people can directly download then get the image onto a microsd card
reason: the budget's simplly not large enough now ship out a thousand 4GB / 8GB microsd cards with the OS pre-installed on it. people are going to have to get their own (or use one they already have).
I've started looking at http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/source_code/ for inspiration.
But I'd like to know which tasks are a priority for you to deliver the current crowd supply pledges.
all hardware-related.
