Please don't be frustrated and please keep in mind I am not a native English speaker (my answers are sometimes very short for that same reason).

Don't understand that one - from _my point of view_ (not yours!) there is no advantage at that point. > One of the reasons I've been involved for Debian so long is that we have > a history of understanding that our users have a lot of different > requirements and respecting those even if we don't serve them. ack. > It sounds like you're saying you value a form of privacy where you do > business with a large number of parties and minimize the information you > give each party.

Feel free to do so and as I mentioned you can buy OSHW boards even on amazon, if that is your requirement. > I also value being able to obtain things quickly and efficiently. me, too. > I'm disappointed because even if you would prefer that the Freedom Box > project value your needs above mine, I'd hope that mine would be > respected. I just don't want people to promote hardware as open when in fact it isn't and to spread FUD about OSHW boards (availability, popularity). Hmm, sounds a bit harsh - but really it isn't meant like that ;-) Btw. I still don't see which of your needs isn't fullfilled with OSHW? And be assured if you just want to use the Raspberry Pi 2 without any real arguments or maybe because you like its name/color/taste, I just respect that and just to make really sure: I don't want to discourage anyone to work on freedombox using whatever hardware he likes and btw. my view is completely irrelevant anyway... I just want to encourage people _buying new hardware_ to buy OSHW as I don't see a reason not to do so. (Of course there is always a good reason to re-use old hardware). _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
