Hi Sam, That's an interesting piece of hardware indeed! Another reason that I was looking for "server-class" ARM machines is purely because I was assuming that for one of these boards to be in a data center, they would need some sort of rack mounting. Do you know if anything like that exists for this board?
Alex, where is the code that builds the xdg-app runtimes on build.gnome.org, and how often/what is the condition that triggers a runtime rebuild/upload? I'm thinking that if it's not something prohibitive in terms of bandwidth, we could perhaps host a board in our office as a low-tech starting point.
