I also added myself to the list of preorders. I would do hardware related stuff, u-boot hacking and I'd really like porting Archlinux ;)

I'm probably not the kind of person to bring much to the table, either, but what kind of equipment would one need to actually attempt anything with such a card at this point?
a standard 12v dc power supply with a 5.5mm pin-positive jack, usb-otg and micro hdmi cables, and a vga monitor.
the main thing i need from people before i send them $300 to $350 worth of equipment is a 100% committment that they'll be doing active development of some kind which helps the other backers directly or indirectly, or helps further the goals of the eoma68 project.
u-boot development, kernel development, os preparation, packaging, upstreaming - anything like that.

I'd be happy to put work into os prep, packaging (desktop environment - I package up Trininty for my ARM devices here) and anything else that might be helpful. I can't add my name to the list, I'm not registered.
added. i *really* like trinity desktop as it's amazingly lightweight and highly functional. i may actually put it as the default instead of xfce.
i have it installed and tested on one of the microsd cards, it works really well: if you could test it out to make sure it's functional that would be _really_ handy.
btw if you've not got a server where you can upload packages as a repo i'm sure one can be found somewhere.
I have server capability to host packages.
I'm a big fan of trinity too, behaves really well on the ARM devices I've used.
