Two things, that I'd like to contribute.
A new-name suggestion, if it comes to that...
"Open Modular Card System", stylized "OMCaS". (Pronounced AHM-cass) It's, from what I can tell, a fairly accurate descriptor, and the acronym is fairly catchy.
...and an idea for further expansion. Rather than have a single CPU card that plugs into a carrier board with lots of stuff, why not have *multiple* cards -- both as the "motherboard" and as the expansion cards...? ;) Key them differently, and then all you need is a mostly-passive backplane ("mostly" because it would obviously break out some of the ports) and a pile of Cardbus connectors.
What do you all think?

The final jigsaw is a fully GPL'd openscad based case designs for tablet, netbooks, panel computer, and match box sized gadget. Got me four 3D printers to address that soon enough.
oo. i have a partially-completed layout for a tablet in blender, all the components have "parts"representing them - touchscreen etc - it needs the "outside" making. any takers?
