18:45.30mikey_wIs this the place for rhombus discussions?
18:47.36mnemocmikey_w: yes, but the ML might be more effective. luke (lkcl) doesn't come to visit us often
18:50.07mikey_wML?
18:50.23mnemocmailing list
18:50.32mikey_woh ok.
18:50.59mikey_wIs the hardware any further than the smoke and mirrors point yet?
18:51.46mnemocmikey_w: not before the spring festival
18:52.19ManoftheSeamikey_w: smoke and mirrors?
18:52.31ManoftheSeait's at the "do it yourself" point.
18:52.43ManoftheSeaas in, a couple people on the mailing list are doing it themselves.
18:53.16mikey_wNice and the url of the ML is?
18:53.23mnemocmore of "draw it yourself" than a "do it" imo :)
18:53.43mnemochttp://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook
18:55.16mikey_wOk I subscribed.  TU.
18:55.42mikey_wThe ideas in the mission statement are commendable.
18:56.28mikey_wThe raspberry pi only offers binary blobs and not source code.
18:57.24mnemocallwinner already blessed us with a real git repo, with real history. https://github.com/allwinner/linux-2.6.36/commits/lichee-dev
18:57.37mikey_wThe idea of a Chinese company complying with the GPL is unique.
18:58.06mnemocthis is not merely complying, also helping
18:58.20mikey_wYes a great surprise.
18:58.21mnemocone of their developers comes here daily
18:58.31mikey_wNice.
18:59.04mikey_wI have afew ARM toys.
18:59.46mikey_wA nook color, a a81e, an OLPC xo-1.75 and a pocket edge.  Lots of fun.
19:00.13mnemocmikey_w: get an A10 based tablet and join the dream ;-)
19:00.38mikey_wGot a name for one or two of them?
19:01.19mikey_wOh I have a beagleboard too.
19:01.38mnemochttp://tabletrepublic.com/forum/cortex-a8-allwinner-a10/
19:03.03mnemochopefully after we start seeing actual eoma compatible boards modules with more SoCs will see the light
19:03.29mnemocthat's the point of EOMA
19:03.40A2Shedsmikey_w: the design is in PCB layout
19:04.07A2ShedsI'll finish it after Chinese New Year
19:05.44A2Shedsyou can already order tablets with the A10 for $80-200
19:06.47mikey_wI  like the Ice Walker.
19:06.58mikey_wNow where to purchase one.
19:07.19mnemocgoogle :)
19:07.42mnemocusually from .cn/.hk sellers
19:08.06mnemocI got my aura ly-f1 for $108.... very nice tablet and comes with `su`, but adb is disabled
19:09.02mnemocand the tools for flashing (and making them boot from SDs)  are for windows and in chinese :-/
19:09.25A2Shedsdidn't Tom post a howto in English?
19:09.36A2Shedshipboi
19:09.55mnemocyes
19:10.18mnemocbut not for the SD-booting tool
19:10.46ManoftheSeaBesides android, are there linux flavors for tablets?
19:10.55ManoftheSeaor is it more of a roll your own?
19:11.03mnemocanyhow I need a windows machine first, and from over two dozen computers at home I have none with MS's OS
19:11.05ManoftheSeaI know ubuntu Tablet Edition
19:11.25ManoftheSeathe A10 can run CE
19:11.34A2Shedsroll your own for now, but as soon as the modules are done, then all sorts of new kernels will be available
19:12.07A2Shedseven the Bodhilinux guys will roll a desktop for tablets
19:12.18mnemoc:D
