@wicket: excellent idea. Could you investigate further, make contacts, evaluate opportunities etc?

two little corrections though: we won't ship debian but a https://devuan.org/ which is barebones and only has factory test (cmdline) software to ensure the subsystems are working within parameters, and probably an installer wizard to help users to pick the community driven FOSS OS of their choice. Neo-fremantle looks rather promising already, SHR should work OOTB, and yes since this is a plain linux compliant ARM platform, basically almost all linux flavors that have a armel/armhf build should probably work instantly, with exception of a few subsystems like slider/kbd-backlight or camera that are unique to N(eo)900 and thus need some love to adapt them.
