How to market eoma68 vs intel card in a positive way?
Heres a go, please edit,suggest as you feel. hmm sounds like a wiki page is coming :) :
EOMA68: *Grass roots developed - made by someone who cares *Any processor make *Made with free software and its developers in mind. to help advance and fund free software. *Hardware that just works for free software and there for any software *Makes it easier for the creation and maintenance of many, yet to be thought of, new devices. *Higher Spec additional standard EOMA200 in the works after current ones products are in the market.
also (thanks to recent discussions) backwards-compatible upgrade options to higher power (up to 10W) and higher resolution(s). 1920x1080 planned for first revision, other speeds potentially later *if* they can be kept within EMI limits.

Weeks ago I began to wonder what the best way to promote EOMA68-A20 would be once it becomes a reality in spring. I think the crowdsupply campaign and the promotion video were very well executed. Are there any plans for another video -- maybe part of a promotion campaign starting in spring 2017? To clarify: I am thinking more of a "guerilla", decentral community driven campaign and not something involving a slick marketing company. As a consequence of the recent "intel computer-card" news I feel even more urgency to create some buzz for EOMA68-A20 and I believe that it is by far the better product compared to the quite vague Intel announcement. I can write down some of my ideas which currently live relatively unstructured in my head if it is seen as a good idea by Luke and the community. On the other hand if there are already plans how to promote EOMA68 in the next year I can save myself the time and work on other projects.
