Denver talks about making the #OpenWrtOne, software freedom and SFC.
Caught Denver's #SCaLE22x keynote regarding the #OpenWrtOne and ended up ordering one after getting my hands on the ones at the @conservancy booth.
The aesthetics struck me as needing some tweaks to fit into my home, so I figure I can design #3DPrinting case/covers to fit it and help with its wider apeal.
Any places i should contact as I get going?
Last weekend the #SCALE Tech Team flashed 120 #OpenWrtOne APs with our latest build in preparation to bring you #SCALE22x powered by free software and open hardware. Thank you, #OpenWrt Project and the @conservancy, for your partnership

We did it! Thanks to everyone who donated and made this happened! And thank you for your patience while we've sent you emails and asked for your help. We will do everything we can to continue to use your donations and your partnership to work tirelessly for #softwarefreedom
If you are sad you missed the exciting finish to our @conservancy fundraiser, you can strive to make our overage amount a fun number (a prime?)
I'm going to sleep now, and will be back in a few hours, and will go see if there were any last minute paper checks that arrived for us in the last days to get a final number up :) Thank you again!, I'm so proud that people really care about this work.

Is this maybe happening? The amount to raise is $8,933 now!
Did you see how we stood up for the AGPL in our recent amicus brief? We worked so hard over the holidays to make that happen...
