Thanks, I've been the main software dev behind the OSWALD and have |
5 |
enjoyed using Gentoo for a number of years now. I thought the OSWALD |
6 |
would be a great way to help forward the embedded side of Gentoo. |

I'm hoping to soon start contributing back some of the ebuilds and other |
9 |
software I've developed along the way for the OSWALD since I'm only a |
10 |
week or two away from becoming an official Gentoo dev. |

Currently the project looks a little dead since we are between funding |
13 |
cycles and are looking to produce more devices so we have more stock on |
14 |
hand. However, we've secured funds to continue expanding the project |
15 |
this next school year and I'll continue working on the software side of |
16 |
things. |

If you're interested, I could probably hook a couple more Gentoo |
23 |
embedded devs with OSWALDs at reduced prices. We currently have a |
24 |
limited supply on hand due to previous manufacturing and funding issues, |
25 |
but there are probably enough to hand a few out, especially if you |
26 |
contribute back to the OSWALD project. |

Also, we are currently looking into the next hardware platform that the |
29 |
device will be based on in future years. I'm all for continuing with the |
30 |
upcoming OMAP4 platform, but we'll see where things go. |

If you have any more questions let me know. |
