@mntmn In the end, did you decide to add a RTC with a coin cell backup? I saw that consideration in one of your Twitter postings and I do very much like the idea.

@bart I watched it last night. It was a great talk, thanks.

@z3ntu @fosdem I spy someone living the dream...

@dos Now those apps from fdroid can have a proper place to live.

@Wolf480pl@niu.moe @mntmn "Now we come to ticks and tocks, sir. Try to say this Mr. Knox, sir. . . ."

@martijnbraam What a mad lad. I'm impressed.

@todd Nice progress! Looks like things are coming together.

*bump* @mntmn

Just in case you haven't seen it, there is a write up on the reform up on Tom's Hardware:

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/mnt-modular-open-source-reform-laptop-to-hit-crowd-supply-in-february

It's a pretty big site so I'd say it's a pretty big deal.

@mntmn Assuming my earlier comment wasn't too far off the mark. Perhaps it would be worth while for you to reach out to the guys over at: https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/ . Right now I think their plan is to design a motherboard to drop into the same chassis used by the KDE slimbook. If you are doing what I think you are doing, it would be much better for them to design to the new standard you are creating.

@mntmn Please forgive my ignorance on this topic, but does this mean you are standardizing the design of your laptop? If so, which parts are actually encompassed by that? Are you basically attempting to standardize your laptop motherboard from factor (similar to the mini-It standard)?
