Actually, as it turns out, Patrick@ is eager to get started, and his PayPal funding pool has already raised enough funds to buy him his M1 mini.
Kettins@ could also use an M1 mini. If you’d like to help raise funds for his purchase, donate here: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8uPSkfNJMp Not all of us have the skills or time to port an operating system. Even many of those who superficially might probably aren’t as good at coding as they think they are. But many of us have other skills that we can translate into money that we can give to those who _do_ have skills and time (and interest)....
