 along are you in board layout?

  Oh, sorry it is not a Raspberry PI project. It
will use an A20 based  clone of the Raspberry PI model B+.

 I am putting the finishing touches on a separate Indiegogo project  called the
"Shoofly PI" and will be launching soon. It is an open source
 hardware design with the same layout as the Model B+. People can build
 their own Shoofly PI for maybe $20-30 cost per unit to produce. Attached is
 a high-level design layout:

 it looks like a pretty cool OS, but $500k seems a little steep for  developing
another raspberry pi OS mashup. how do you envision that money
 being allocated? are there free alternatives that people will choose over
 this one? I like the concept of pre-packaging alot of software in an sd
 card image for newbies and I think generally people will be willing to pay
 extra for that at least until enough copies are distributed for it to be
 readily available as a torrent. good luck and keep us posted!

 I developed a Linux based OS for the Allwinner A20 and Raspberry PI that  has a
Mac-like user interface and 3D POV gaming engine. The project also
 includes many open source Quake and Halflife game modifications, as well as
 a collection of other open source games. The purpose of this Kickstarter
 project is to raise funds to manufacture an A20-based board that has the
 same form factor and IO connections as the Raspberry PI Model B+, and will
 fit into a Model B+ case.

 The marketing people working with me on this are from the entertainment
 industry and have some interesting connections. We don't have many backers
 as yet because we are doing a soft-launch and will ramp up marketing and
 promotion shortly.
