Looks like certain berry-constant named device has opened Pandora's box, Olimex Ltd. just announced another low cost Linux SBC, but this time it is going to be OSHW and they are looking for developers that could help them round up the device for general use. Ok, enough talk, here's announcement - http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/imx233-olinuxino-development-started-today/

PS read the article comments, this is not going to be the last OSHW SBC by Olimex

I liked you comment on the list, to paraphrase, "I know C and have a soldering iron" . Nice to see the OLinuXino progressing well.

Very impressive to see the critical role you are playing in the project. I look forward to being able to purchase for my electronics projects in the future.

There is still a chance to get one of the early development boards as I don't think all of the remaining 8 assigned to devs, who all are volunteers, just like me.
