Hey list,

Poor you, always having bad luck. I do hope you get well soon!

I know you try to do this, but it isn’t producing results useful to others.
notes needed. info good. not enough collaboration. too early.
try my patience to have to follow up pretty much every single message to arm-netbooks with "could you please put that on the wiki”.
That’s because the wiki is not useful. If it were, people would be using it.
no product. beyond most people to be honest. i'm motivated, but not paid. others: no motivation, nor any pay. result: no long-term contributions! lots of people help along the way though. really really grateful.
In part this is because there is no “the wiki”: there is the wiki on
rhombus-
tech.net which starts with "Welcome to Rhombus Tech, a CIC company”,
there is
elinux.org which a wonderful maze of relevant and not-relevant

there is the linux-sunxi.org wiki.
sunxi went off did their own thing.
I know you are a little bitter about this, but let me say clearly, I think you are doing a great thing with EOMA86 and appreciate everything you have done so far!
When I joined linux-sunxi (via the arm-netbook IRC channel) it was on a follow up from the XBMC A10 thread. I was very interested in the A10 as it could potentially be a Free (libre) mediacenter. I initially even got a Pivos with AMLogic but sold that since in favor of the A10. My first A10 device was a tablet I gotten that had the A10 by chance, hence my looking into the sunxi community. While true, at this point the split already happened I feel that this only as evolution.
Linux-sunxi focuses only on the SoC, Rhombus/Eoma around the eoma specifically. What will happen if EOMA uses an AMLogic for the next iteration (or rockchip). The A10 would have been let to rot a little. Now there's a community around it. Sunxi seems to focus mostly on the olimex and cubietech boards these days (as they gave dev boards to devs) and whatever tablet of the week pops by.
So while I've heard the splitting of the two communities didn't maybe go the prettiest of ways, it's healthy that it did.
More cooperation is only good and on that note, I wonder if EOMA et al will be at FOSDEM 2014?

We should discuss all this during the future irc meeting, starting by
defining
what our needs are as a group, what our expectations are, cataloging our current assets and then creating process that may work for us to move us forward.
good idea. you're good at that. i have a different style.
"would people be open to having one with the goal of improving this situation?”
yes!
ok, cool. for you, evenings (UTC) and weekends work better than daytime, correct?
yes.
i’m thinking of something in early January to get this started ...
great.
