The FreedomBox project, as proposed by Eben, has a hardware target: small pluggable computers.Yet still, the future is long and the world is wide. Ports can be made. It's doubtful, but when the tech group gets down to brass tacks some unforseen circumstance might make the plug an obviously bad choice. And people on this list are of course free to extend the vision to other hardware. So on some level there are lots of hardware possibilities.
Sure Plug devices become obsolete long-term. Debian, however, do not. Or at least I do not expect that - and assume noone else subscribed to this Debian(!) list does either.
Plug devices is a sensible choice not because they never become obsolete but because they are usable with Debian *now* so we can hack on it *now*.
Please do!
But no, the hardware is not up in the air. After we assemble a tech committee, I predict this will all get focused to the target. For now, though, I'm quite enjoying the multiplicity of ideas.
Feel free to wait for a committee to make decisions for you.I won't wait for that. I am working on FreedomBox *now* and take orders from noone.
When I've repeatedly referred to the preaching of Eben, it is not that I treat his message as Law, but because I have found it sensible, and because I assume that is what we have in common here on this list.
