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

EOMA68 libre laptop and microdesktop, soon to launch
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 27 May '16

27 May '16

hi folks very busy here, also packing up as we're leaving holland, and been ill for several days *and* getting the portable 3d printer up and running - it's all happening. we're due to launch soon, and are applying for RYF Certification to cover the average end-user. spoke to josh gay about that, he confirmed that the FSF is in no way concerned about the average technical user (which all of us are here on arm-netbooks), it's when proprietary software is available and installed via an easy click-point interface with absolutely no warnings whatsoever. so we've worked out the procedures for applying for and then including a RYF-Certified product on the same launch page as the rest. it's very specific but we'll manage fine. nearly there, thank you to everyone for being so patient. EOMA68 is a long-term standard that has to be right first time it goes out. there's no possibility for correcting mistakes, as it would cause confusion. confusion automatically means failure so that can't happen. which is why i've had to bite the bullet, update the standard, and start again with the prototypes three times now, costing around $USD 10k each time. it is what it is. but i'm finally happy with the standard, the proof-of-concept, whilst in bits, works 100%, the modifications required are minor, so we launch. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68
