Hi!

Leo Famulari <leo@famulari.name> skribis:

Yes, I think we should pick good-looking hardware like one of the
options listed in the notes of the CI session, and try to discuss
privately with the sales department of the company that makes it (with a
timeout, though).  They might be interested in providing hardware to
support free software development on the architecture, just like ARM
donated us two OverDrives three years ago.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
