Hello A group here in Brazil is starting a new project, the idea is to build a small computer that looks like a notebook as Pine64 notebook https://s2.glbimg.com/NR0vR3P0x5ZasZ3BjXcIhXn3X0Q=/0x0:1006x616/984x0/smart/filters:strip_icc()/i.s3.glbimg.com/v1/AUTH_08fbf48bc0524877943fe86e43087e7a/internal_photos/bs/2020/K/h/zi2gU3TgWFS91YR4KaIQ/slide-pinebook-14inch.jpg The idea is to give to 2nd grades students a platform that is cheap powerfull and not tied to anything big techs have, so NO google, NO microsoft, No apple... No high speed internet Linux is out too because of copyright code... We are looking something like the Ci20 https://www.mips.com/platform/mips-creator-ci20 of course we will need to hire NetBSD porters to and buy some chips to make it happen... We are thinking in RiscV too but a real computer with riscV is too far away, ARM is not an option too because of copyright... and licences the project is expect to produce about 1mln (1,000,000) computers/year We are in the initial phase of the project, so we need some support on how to make it happen we accept ANY suggestions Sergio
