cool!  yes, you should start by cloning our abslibre.git repo[0] and try
to build libre/linux-libre using makepkg.  you will probably want to
merge it with archarm changes.

if you like to work on a parabola port we can discuss it here or on the
irc channel.  at least you and leonardo will hear us rambling about our
experience porting mips64el ;)

this means it's somewhat acceptable to use it with free software because
you aren't required to install or distribute binary blobs, since they're
embedded in the device.
