Hilarious. Money corrupts all. Next up, an organization that wants to take the original Raspberry Pi’s goal and extend that open model to all parts of a computer system including the hardware. IMO, whoever wants to spend the up-front money to take over that role is going to get very, very rich.

Pine64 is basically this.

I would throw money at Pine64 if I could, sadly right now I actually only need a new soldering iron so opted for their Pinecil.

I love that they take literally anything and make an open source variant: phone, ARM laptop, SBC, smart soldering iron, smart watch, IP camera, and even earbuds!

Kind of wish they could do a collab with Fairphone at some point... FP handle the fairtrade hardware sourcing and manufacture, and P64 handle the OSS firmware

I’ve got a Pinebook Pro and Pinetab 2 and both are great.
