LibrePlanet Hackathon WHYDO
Combine a GNU/Linux distribution that has a good chance of making the FSF's list of Free System Distributions with what may be the most free end-user computing device on the planet, the Ben Nanonote (one of the goal of that project is to get another factory building them using only publicly available, copyleft information.
Make it possible for freedom-loving people to use and the FSF to endorse the Ben Nanonote hardware, and future Nanonote designs that may include mobile phone features.
LibrePlanet Hackathon TODO
Get initial version of LibreWrt up and running on a Ben Nanonote.
10 Ben Nanonotes will be available to Hacking space participants, and will be available for sale at cost if the goal of getting LibreWrt 0.1 up and running succeeds.
There is only one piece of user-visible art that clearly needs to be replaced, the on-boot banner. It would be goof to replace this with a version of the banner used in the gNewsense/metad yeeloong builds, which features a GNU and Freedo, the linux-libre mascot. The 100gnu+freedo.svg file can be used as the basis for the image (probably just need a format conversion).
