the critical component there is the PCMCIA socket. if you add up the number of micro-desktop housings, laptop housings and breakout boards, the total comes to 201. so we're 80.4% of the way there on that one, too.
no, the main thing is, we couldn't have predicted the ratios that people would like to pledge for, in advance, and with a 20:1 difference betweeen highest and lowest parts it means we have to keep an eye on things and do the maths.
basically beyond a certain threshold raised it'll be really easy to complete. hard work, but we'll have the funds to do it.
also with more funds i can start considering planning ahead.
I do a little calculation to estimate, what will be the outcome of this campaign, and think, Luke is doing that too and is prepairing the next possible steps. But I think, it makes at this point of the campaign no sense to publish the results and speculate about the outcome
What everybody should do at this point, is in my opinion to publish about the project and think about what one can do on top. Unfortunately (in this case) I am not on facebook and twitter anymore and will not go back there. That is my way of preserving my freedom and privacy. I write on diaspora* and gnusocial.
Would it be possible to write an email to everyone who has pledged and ask them, to inform their peergroup (again) and publish about the project in the social-media they use.
In the next days i will write a blogpost on my fsfe-blog about the sense of crowdfunding, that of course will name the eoma68 project too.
