I Commented on the video that EOMA might be what he'd like.

I tried to point him to the EC firmware but "http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma" is bit of a mess. It contains a lot of (historical) info without structure.

Also I find. http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/ and the e-linux wiki hard to navigate. It's messy. 

If I'd like to start hacking on the laptop a staring point would be nice.
