or is the tree something like?: |-EMOA68 |-QiMod Ltd. |---Rhombus-tech
|-Make Play Live
To confirm. QiMod is part of the team that is responsible for and made the EMOA86 standard? So do I just promote QiMod or do I promote QiMod & EMOA86?
EOMA68 and QiMod.
please don't mention competing products.
with pleasure.
.net not .org. and include the link to http://www.qimod.com
guilty of getting extra lazy by then.
I'm working on a draft that I'll post soon~ish. I'm stuck on "Why". So why as in why why not how,what but why sort of why :) are you doing this?
that's a long story that has answers on several levels, so it depends on the audience as to what the answer is. why am *i* doing this - and this is not an answer that's for public "consumption" if you will - is to make money as a stepping stone to other projects that i need to get done. rather large projects that also involve simplification or advancement of technolgy. one of those involves a modernisation of the bourke engine, which has a 30% reduction in materials for the same engine power output, or a 30% fuel efficiency increase. others include research into accelerating the search for room-temperature flexible superconductors and so on.
this one is about simplification of computer technology and making it more accessible to factories. it also is a design that, should there be any serious world-wide problems with export/imports due to hyperinflation of currencies against the chinese RMB, would mean that a single shipping container of 5mm x 85mm x 55mm CPU Cards could supply a year's worth of mass-volume computing power to any small country, where that country could then locally manufacture much simpler PCBs and casework *locally*. so it's a way to keep *two* countries stable, because if computing (or cars) suddenly get 10 to 50x more expensive due to hyperinflation, that not only buggers things up for the countries that suddenly can't afford parts or products, but it buggers things up for china as a major exporter as well. it's good for china's government to keep people occupied, if you know what i mean.
along the way i will also fulfil the current goal in an ethical way that respects software freedom, which happens also to be important from a business perspective because shipping product with illegal copyright-violating software tends to result in lawsuits, and product being impounded and destroyed when imported.
but if you start talking about that to potential customers about that they will just go "wtf???" because this is the answer to "why am *i* doing this", not "why would anyone be interested in it", ok?
so it is *not* an answer to the question "why should i buy anything from this product range" nor "why should i invest in this product range" and it would not be appropriate to mention anything of the above should anyone ask about the project, ok?
so, could i ask you: what is the target audience to whom you would like to speak, and what question are you anticipating that they ask, so that we can give them an answer which encourages them to buy.
These sorts of questions are always a struggle for me too answer.
friends, people I've meet, free software people on free software related mailing lists like Trisquel.
I wanted to have texts/versions/paragraphs/etc that I cut to what I think will be the most effective for the audience.
I have also been thinking about how it seams that people aren't working out what this means for them, hasn't/isn't "clicking" with them. So I've been wanting to have a why that err makes senses, one that they fall in love with. This is what I am thinking about, when thinking about "why": http://youtube.com/watch?v=pI0cJdOzUcQ (yes bapple propaganda but...)
