I followed the development of the EOMA68 Laptop for a long time and waited
eagerly for the crowfunding-campaign. After the start of the campaign I
regularly postet news on diaspora* and gnusocial and on the fsfe-de e-mail
list and will do so until the end of the campaign.
thanks wolfgang, please do keep it up.
Ideas of places where I haven't seen it published, if you think that
it's worth a try: Slashdot, SoylentNews, LWN.
(I posted the links to a few places as well, but don't have much
time/energy left for the above).
I hope it helps. I wonder,
why so few people of the free software movement support your campaign. I
thouhgt, free hardware in combination with free software was one of the top
whishes of the free software community.
the fsf is run by volunteers who are paid hourly: they're really
*really* pressed and very understaffed, and many of them have other
jobs so cannot work on fsf tasks outside of their (actual) paid hours.
i'm leaving it with them to get the press release and so on out when
they have available time.
I read Wolfgang's paragraph a bit differently... I think that Wolfgang
wonders why there are not more pledges / purchasing orders from people
*following* the FOSS/libre software; while Luke interprets that Wolfgang
is complaining about people *leading* FSF*-related orgs (including
Europe, Latin America, etc.; and other countries similar orgs like ANSOL
in Portugal or April in France) are not promoting EOMA68 from their orgs
as much as they could / should.
Or perhaps I am wrong and Luke did read Wolfgang's message correctly.
In any case I think that it's a bit of both... and if it was being
promoted prominently by some orgs, specially FSF's Respects Your Freedom
campaing, would probably give the campaing a big boost.
But hey, I am positive and I think that it's doing quite well at the
moment :-)
Cheers.
