Had our first Spindletop meeting this Saturday. Many
local supporters turned out to discuss their ideas and
concerns. Everything was very positive, people
seem to be excited about our thoughts and Lucas and I are
excited about implementing their ideas (and they had some
great ones.
Events are unfolding very quickly and it's going to
be
a
challenge to get things going, but with the kind of support
that we've been receiving from the free software community -
this is going to happen, it already is.
We're concentrating on the website first and
foremost
in
our effort to build a base community that can help in every
aspect from voting on ideas, to programming, to speaking on
Spindletop's behalf (eventually). We're going to have a
fully automated community that will not only be able to
express their opinions but also actively participate in the
construction of the first GNU/Linux hardware co-operative
of its kind.
