 here are some new pictures that i took today for the MNT Reform Next campaign that show the 3 different case colors. all of these are aluminum: black, purple, and raw (untreated). we're going to launch the crowdfunding for this open hardware 12.5 inch laptop very soon. if you wanna be informed when we do, you can subscribe with your email at https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next (that page still has old pictures with a 3d printed case that will hopefully be updated soon!)  MNT Pocket Reform Operator Handbooks are here! co-written and illustrated by @holo_memory (2d, full page illustrations) and me (3d). cover design derived from the original by @neauoire. tina pixel sprite by @theawesomerandomness. this book (after i've finished errata) together with something i'll show tonight unlocks Hyper shipments.

@mntmn @holo_memory @neauoire @theawesomerandomness Realllly beautiful and cool <3 #readthebeautifulmanual  the MNT Pocket Reform Operator Handbook is out as a free PDF: https://mntre.com/documentation/pocket-reform-handbook.pdf edited and illustrated by @holo_memory and me, pixel tina graphic by @theawesomerandomness @mntmn @holo_memory @theawesomerandomness Love it. It is always great to see work of such quality and care. @mntmn @holo_memory @theawesomerandomness Is this right, that the left mouse button is not the leftmost button?  @mntmn @holo_memory @theawesomerandomness see this is why I love your company. Everything is open, now I really want to buy the handbook separately just to support your teams efforts. lots of reform parts and expansions now available at crowd supply: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform incl very good deals on a311d processor upgrade (rcm4-bpi) and standalone keyboard My next laptop will be definitely a MNT Reform. I love the idea, the hackability, that's it's open... and the fact that I can have one with a trackball! cool: we were featured in this article by iFixit https://www.ifixit.com/News/94927/how-open-hardware-empowers-users  QA testing MNT Reform Kintex-7 modules with soft RISC-V core (LiteX/VexRiscV) and our eDP encoder board what's missing to make this already pretty cool setup even cooler:  @mntmn around what frame rate it does run?  MNT Pocket Reform motherboard first release candidate being assembled by @theawesomerandomness MNT Pocket Reform status update is out https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform/updates/thank-you-for-making-pocket-reform-possible

@mntmn Awesome! Any updates on the possibility of the Next? (the thinner thing you teased a few weeks ago) my keynote (rant) from the free silicon conference a few weeks ago in paris (fsic2023) is online: https://peertube.f-si.org/videos/watch/448e1166-9993-4f09-a8b5-8ee67e67a7cc

@mntmn FYI: There's also a text version for those rather reading: http://dump.mntmn.com/2023-FSIC-KEYNOTE.pdf    we updated the MNT Reform Documentation page with more links, incl. electronics sources for the subprojects and pre-built firmware binaries, as well as alternative operating systems: https://mntre.com/docs-reform.html do you miss any additional information?

 Kann ich das #MNT #PocketReform an einen Ort in Deutschland auch direkt aus Berlin liefern lassen, oder ist der "Umweg" über Crowd Supply obligatorisch? today i learned about the tool `b4` which makes it really easy to download patch series from lore.kernel.org people working on FOSS: did you see this and did you apply (grants)? https://sovereigntechfund.de/en/challenges/ because of all our hardware projects i'm already spread too thin to contribute in a bigger way to sw projects that i think matter a lot, like linux arm kernel and drivers, mesa, wlroots, wayfire, sway, gnome, pipewire, creative apps like gimp, inkscape, audio and video editors... but i would love to see the relevant people getting this cash and pushing FOSS desktops forward MNT Reform 2023 refresh:

@mntmn Sorry to bother you, but I didn't find it on your website: Is the machine fanless? (I'd need a quiet Linux machine for writing.)
@mntmn will it get a trackball?
@mntmn I know I always bring this up, but will it run #SculptOS? Please donate one to @nfeske from @genode for testing 🙏
