so when promoting improv I say something like "in partnership with QiMod, Make Play Live have an attractive, nice and compact dev board shipped with the first QiMod Computer Card."
When promoting the computer card I have been using rhombus-tech. I'll start using QiMod from now on for the computer card. right?
for example: " Rhombus-tech of QiMod made a new computer form factor of a computer card, does the same jobs as a PC,Laptop,Tablet,etc, It's the practical positive answer to multiple current issues Why: *Environment(waste and so climate change, We can't keep going at the current rate.) *spreading good will to users and developers of software that you'll use tomorrow. *badwill spreading, monopoly, up-too-no-good com's/corporations. *The constant upgrade UPGrade UPGRADE!!!! tredmill and the unnecessary waste it produces. *cheep in the long-run (after first "upgrade" you've saved money and on e-waste!) *the students affordable portable computer and education tool and then uni project.

How: A thin card, it's a bit smaller than your hand.

In partnership with QiMod, Make Play Live have an attractive, nice and compact dev board shipped with the first QiMod Computer Card. 7" tablet going to follow after.
Thou may get the improv now https://makeplaylive.com
that ended up being a big example :).

makeplaylive is a client. that is the only association.
so when promoting improv I say something like "in partnership with QiMod, Make Play Live have an attractive, nice and compact dev board shipped with the first QiMod Computer Card."
something like that yeah.

yes please.
for example: " Rhombus-tech of QiMod made a new computer form factor of a computer card, does the same jobs as a PC,Laptop,Tablet,etc, It's the practical positive answer to multiple current issues
just QiMod Ltd.
Why:
"all QiMod products are long-term upgradeable, giving a lower overall cost of ownership and environmental savings"
honestly i'd leave it at that... except the educational bit... see later on...
*Environment(waste and so climate change, We can't keep going at the current rate.)
be positive. message is in the sentence above.
*spreading good will to users and developers of software that you'll use tomorrow.
... not the main message. true, but not the main message.
*badwill spreading, monopoly, up-too-no-good com's/corporations.
don't include that. be positive.
*The constant upgrade UPGrade UPGRADE!!!! tredmill and the unnecessary waste it produces.
treadmill not tredmil. better to be positive. included in the summary sentence above.
*cheep in the long-run (after first "upgrade" you've saved money and on e-waste!)
cheep is for birdies. cheap is the word you're looking for :) again, incuded in the summary sentence above.
*the students affordable portable computer and education tool and then uni project. (in other words alternative too RPi)
"alternative to" not "alternative too" - and please don't mention competing products.
so something like this implicitly covers the users/developers aspect as well as the educational one:
"QiMod Portable Computing Modules bring the benefits of mass-volume pricing to open educational communities."
so to _answer_ the question "why should you buy QiMod-designed products"? because they're affordable, compact, reuseable long-term investments masquerading as consumer appliances.
How: A thin card,
replace with "Credit-card sized"
it's a bit smaller than your hand. The computer is the card. you pop the card into the device whether its a tablet,laptop,deskbox,server,robot, you name, it a techy out there made it. Future proof, you upgrade the computer card to make it faster not the hole device!
future-proof, you upgrade the computer card, not the whole device, to make it faster.
...and so it's lot less wasteful,
full-stop.
it also won't need a fan to dump excess heat
comma
unlike typical laptops. The project will only
you have two uses of the word "only" in quick succession. drop this one.
design computer cards that only uses chips,soc's,cpu's from bizs
businesses
that respect the free as in your freedom software.
just "that respect software freedom"
Though
i think you mean "through"
this form factor existing problems with being able to have plug and play software on hardware of this type.
this sentence is very unclear.
and yet the products are in reach of being cheep as we like it.
cheap not "cheep cheep, cute birdie" :)
.......and yet all we have to do to put our money where our mouth is and buy the first dam product! preoder for shipping when everybody who said there are interested gets around to clicking the dam buy button.... :)
damn not dam :)
The soon this ship getting moving the sooner the project reachs the sky cus all profits goes into new products/the community not into share-holders pockets!
reaches not reachs. full stop after sky, drop the word "cus".

In partnership with QiMod, Make Play Live have an attractive, nice and

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?
please don't mention competing products.

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.

I can offer this perspective as to why EOMA68 is attractive. To design a device based on a modern full featured SoC/CPU that is capable of running a desktop level OS requires designing a PCB with high speed signalling for the RAM etc. This is a non-trivial task that is beyond most people without specific engineering expertise, and expensive software tools. A modular CPU card like EOMA68 has all the high speed stuff taken care of, and can be dropped into a PCB with a PCMCIA socket that even an advanced hobbyist can design, get manufactured and then populate by hand soldering. As far as I know, there has not really been anything like this in the past.
Making custom or prototype devices with modern CPUs is now accessible to a far wider range of individuals and companies than before, and those devices will be upgradeable as more EOMA68 cards appear.

... and certainly not on a scale that's planned and designed for mass-volume, and certainly not in a long-term upgradeable form-factor.

exactly. it's quite a comprehensive story/strategy, one that ultimately has a simple reason for each participant in that story/strategy (which all the other participants don't really need to know).
and it is dependent on getting some sales in as it is at a critical time-dependent phase of the project.

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...)
....So I asked the wrong question (why do *you* do this). Is the question I should have asked something like "why, not how or what but why would someone want a QiMod product?"?
or should it be "why, not how or what but why would someone want a emoa based product?" ?
what does QiMod belive oh, arrrrrr! I expect you can work out what I'm tring to ask/say from that video. time for bed 3am+.
