I think once the original crowdfunding pledges are delivered a first round of outreach will be required. I don't know how future sales of the project are going to happen( since as you said you don't intend to stay in the business of making them for long)
ah you misunderstand, bill: i have NEVER been permitted to be in the BUSINESS of selling cards, EVER. a Certification Mark holder is not permitted to, as it is "competing with licensees". the only way to get the Cards out to people is to be an "Advisor" to ThinkPenguin, who has handled the finances and so on.
so let me be clear: ANYONE MAY CONTACT ME AND BECOME A SALES AGENT. or license EOMA68 and make their own Housings and Cards. if the design is entirely libre the licensing fee will be zero and i will do everything i can to help them.
or who is going to develop new cards
anyone may do so... under license [zero fees if it's libre]. i have been doing them up until now.
but the project could definitely use some extra eyes.
yep i know.
Personally I'm holding off a purchase both due to the fact that the A20 is too slow for anything useful for me and mainly due to cost( and I want to build a NAS at some point too).
rockpro64 for you, then. damn good board.
