> Hi, it appears that there is some misleading information in the EOMA68 news:

 so - as you know i was too busy to deal with the assumptions made
which indicated a lack of research as well as a lack of trust (because
of the ****-ups made by purism), that in turn allowed various people
to attack this 5-year-long (so far) project.

 AS WAS ALREADY MADE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR on the crowdfunding page, and
was ALREADY COMMITTED TO WITH PUBLIC LIBRE-LICENSED RELEASES OF
SCHEMATICS AND CAD DOCUMENTS DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS, and REAFFIRMED
RIGHT NOW, i have updated one of the set of (eight) PCB / CAD
documents, this one is the microdesktop unit.

 AS PROMISED, there you will find FULL RESEARCH DOCUMENTS including
NDA-FREE datasheets (which were already there for 2 years)

 AS PROMISED, there you will find FULL SCHEMATICS AND PCB DESIGN FILES
(not just pdfs outputted from the programs)

 AS PROMISED, you will find gerber files for the PCB (which have gone
for evaluation and quotation to the factory)

 you can probably tell i'm pretty cross at having been compared to
purism, but more than that i'm really angry at not being taken at my
word, and people having public discussions basically making out that
i'm a liar, when there's a *clear* publicly-auditable online
documentary evidence trail to the contrary.

 now, i'm not perfect, so i appreciate people making the effort to
review what i'm doing.  that's how mistakes are caught, which could
jeapordise the project.  but doing a review on an arbitrary list
(instead of the one that's dedicated to the project) which *begins*
with "we don't trust anything that's been said because of some
company's failure" is pretty much bound to end up making a mess.

 i trust that i don't have to make announcements of the type above
again: apologies also but i'll *not* be responding (except on the
arm-netbook list) to questions or comments on the above.  i trust that
people can find the remaining documents for the other PCBs themselves,
or, that if they cannot find what they need, to CONTACT ME on the
appropriate mailing list,

 very stressed and overloaded,
