I took a look at what we did for open-pc and xompu:

That is pretty true, however you can also argue it for the other two. I guess 
it depends how it is set up. If it becomes an article about experiences in 
getting KDE software ready for a consumer oriented device (headline: "Is 
Plasma Desktop Ready for the Consumer?" or similar) then it could work. By 
that I mean a brief intro stating that Mario has set up this company (plus 
link) and then discussion of the challenges of using KDE software and the 
benefits too.

That'd be you ;-)

Any other thoughts/someone interested in putting together some questions that 
would make it an interesting KDE story?

Cheers,
Stu
