Hello,
I saw that there were a number of FOSDEM talks related to this list and to
some of our previous discussions. For instance:
"FST-01SZ (Flying Stone Tiny 01 revision ShenZhen)"
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/gnuk_hardware/
"Maemo Leste"
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/maemo_leste_mobile/
This latter one is interesting in a number of different ways, as presumably
many people on this list already know, in that the project continues support
for the Maemo technologies, attempts to support various devices (including new
ones, if they get released), and directs effort towards various common
problems affecting open hardware projects (like supporting awkward
technologies such as whichever GPU product happened to get bundled in any
given SoC).
Indeed, on the topic of new devices, maybe someone bumped into the Necunos
people at FOSDEM. Digging around on their site finally brought me to this
page:

Personally, I cannot get excited by a device that is not developed in the
open, and it also doesn't seem to have cellular connectivity, but I guess it
might help drive Free Software development for such devices, at least.
Paul
