[Discuss] EOMA68 Libre Hardware Standard and Libre Software project, currently crowd-funding (deadline expires 26th aug 2016)

It looks small enough that a case could be printed on most 3D printers and
it's a lot cheaper than the laptop version. So it would fit well into a
high-volume customization experience.
