Call For Donations For Poodle Hardware

[grog]

New to the group - I'll jump in for $50.00 US.   I've got a 5600 (250 cpu) and would _love_ to contribute to getting some of the 5600-specific problems resolved (like my SD card stopping working in 3.5.4 after trying to install abiword - now works under the Sharp rom image, but not OZ - how's _that_ for weird?)

Thanks Phil. That puts us over the top, assuming CubicleLord's buddy hasn't gotten distraught from the time lag & forsaken us? And assuming it's still available, would CubicleLord be willing to broker the deal? Say give us a paypal id & when all the cash has been received, then arrange for the Z to be shipped?

I've seen some posts on the OZ devel list about other poodles making themselves available. Maybe Hrw could give us an update here? As well (assuming CubicleLord agrees to be the broker) then maybe yuo could PM the address to send the Z out to?

A lot of questions. This will be great if this all comes together.

Thanks all for your support.

Yeah, my friend is still OK with selling his Zaurus.  I am OK with being the broker for the whole deal.  Here is my paypal address:  <Paypal address removed to prevent further donations>

I guess what I really need, is for Hrw to let us know where to ship it, and for everyone else deposit the money that you committed.  Once we have those two things we can get another 5600 for an OZ developer.  I'll post once a day to let everyone know where we're at.

Due to fact that work on OZ 3.5.4.x took too much of my time in last months I do not want to work on getting poodle better supported - prefer to spend this time with Ania (my fiancée). I got 3.5.4.1-alpha2 released yesterday after few days of fighting with nonworking image and now have an unwritten list of things todo with next releases. Adding work on not-so-good supported device into this will be overkill - I'm trying to decrease amount of time spent on OE/OZ.

Since RP - our kernel god   - already got a Poodle to work with, I'd be happy to polish up Poodle for OZ / GPE / Opie.

Hrw, thanx so much for your hard work on 3.5.4.x.  We totally understand that you need time with the family too    Heck, I have a family of my own to take care of (2 kids and 1 more on the way!)

CoreDump, you are my hero.  Does anyone, NOT want CoreDump to get our 5600?

My 10 € were only for supporting the kernel development.
So you have to delete me from the list.

I second that. My son will be 1 year old tomorrow, so I also understand the desire to work on the 'real world'

Might I suggest then that as Hrw pointed out our kernel developer IS getting a poodle after all, that your pledge go straight to the OZ kernel developer [a href=\"http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/developers/]Richard ‘RP’ Purdie[/url] (that's a link to where you can find a link straight to his paypal id, BTW ).
