dustywebjust guessed that this channel might exist for this project ;)04:36
dustywebglad to see it does.04:36
dustywebI am extremely excited about it.04:36
dustywebgiven how badly the rest of computing hardware seems to be going, it's a rare ray of hope :)04:36

dustywebhey mntmn, thanks for all your hard work on this14:18
dustyweb(I'm @cwebber@octodon.social for context)14:19
mntmndustyweb: thx! trying :)14:37
dustywebmntmn: really, seriously.  I've felt despair that there might be no future for user freedom in hardware land.  These days when I get sad I check the Reform page for updates and it makes me feel more positive :)14:38
dustywebyou are doing important work!14:38
mntmncool, that’s good to know!14:40

alex4ndermntmn: are you guys keeping a list of early adopter/guinea pigs?  I'd be interested in buying hardware early, even if it meant I had to do some rework20:18
mntmnalex4nder: yeah, i guess you didn't send me an email about it yet, right?20:44
alex4ndermntmn: I don't think I have20:44
mntmnplease do, i'll keep it as a note in my inbox then (lukas@mntre.com)20:45
dustywebI wonder how hard it would be to get Guix running on the Reform20:45
alex4ndermntmn: thanks20:45
dustywebI'm guessing it's mostly a matter of if linux-libre boots and etc, which I'm sure it probably would20:45
mntmnshouldn't be too hard dustyweb20:45
dustywebmntmn: cool20:45
dustywebmntmn: also very promising that you are already looking ahead to risc-v20:45
mntmnyeah... i hope some workable chips will come out20:46
dustywebmaybe after the Reform gets out there and (hopefully!) succeeds, it could be possible to partner with Hi-Five or etc?20:46
mntmnsure20:46
alex4ndermntmn: sent20:48
mntmnthx20:48
dustywebmntmn: btw the link on https://mntmn.com/reform/ to the mastodon account asks for a login20:50
dustywebI suspect you just meant to direct to your user20:50
mntmndustyweb: ah, interesting. i wanted to link to my pictures on mastodon20:52
mntmnturns out the public link for that is different! thx20:52
dustywebheh :)20:52
mntmnfixed20:53
dustywebmntmn: any idea what the cost range will be, approximately, for the first batch?  A rough estimate is fine21:12
dustywebI'm not gonna hold you to it :)21:12
+ wiedi (~wiedi@ip5b4096a6.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de)22:15
mntmndustyweb: you mean for the crowdsupply campaign batch? probably around 900 eur22:24
dustywebmntmn: hey not bad22:28
dustywebmntmn: *really* not bad.22:28
dustywebone might even say good ;)22:28
mntmn:)22:42
mntmnthat’s the plan for the complete unit. there will probably some more DIY options where you can save a few bucks22:44
dustywebmntmn: quite frankly that's extremely affordable22:48
dustywebespecially given how libre hardware projects tend to go ;)22:48
mntmndustyweb: yeah i wanted to make it as affordable as possible while also delivering good quality and not going bankrupt in the process23:10
