okaay so after 4.7.0 was discovered to be unstable, i've gone
backwards to 4.0 mainline and that's working perfectly (well, i say
perfectly: USB-ETH ASIX88772 sends out zero data and/or can't
*receive* data) - no crashes after 10 minutes.
soo... eeenterestiiing... next one to try: 4.4

I just discovered this thread, very late, and I doubt that any of the
original participants are watching it now, but it might still be
worthwhile to read it and see what people are saying.

Hi, there has been a b log-post about the EOMA68-Project on the
fsf/licensing-blog:
https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/support-the-libre-tea-computer-card-a-c…
In the post it reads:
"We encourage you to back the Libre Tea Computer Card. We'll have to do
another evaluation once it is actually produced to be sure it meets our
certification standards, but we have high hopes. Their funding deadline
is August 26th, so don't delay!"

Hi,
There has been a bump in the last few hours and the campaing went up to
over 70k, yay \o/
Reading the article on liliputing [1], I saw this, which surprised me:
"The campaign has raised over $60,000 so far, which is less than half
way to the goal of $150,000. But Leighton tells me that if he raises
around $100,000 he expects to be able to begin production of the items
people are ordering: the higher dollar amount was chosen under the
assumption that more people would be making pledges for higher-priced
items."
But my understanding of how crowdsupply works is that they only get the
money from the pledges if the campaign goal is achieved.
As an example, and again "AFAIUI", if the campaign had been set up so
that there was a "base goal" of 70k$ and one or several "stretch goals"
up to 150k, the money would have been collected at this very moment
(when it just reached 70k); but as things stand with how the campaign
was set up, it's an all-or-nothing at 150k.
So, in the case that the goal is not achieved, what's the plan to begin
production if the money cannot be collected?
Cheers.
