[nycbug-talk] BeagleBones discount

[George Rosamond]

We've worked out a discount for BeagleBones (beagleboard.org) with 
CircuitCo (.com), who have also provided us with a developer contact for 
any BSD porting work.

These are great little ARM boards, and at this point, there are at least 
NetBSD porting efforts and FreeBSD runs on it.  Steve K sent an image 
for FreeBSD 10 on 10/4 to this list:

If you are interested, ping me directly offlist and we will sort out 
ordering, but we'll pre-pay for a batch and hopefully have them by early 
November.  Since we don't know the shipping fees, you'll pay that when 
you pickup.

Once we know that a critical mass of people have it and are hacking on 
it, we can organize some sort of install-fest.
