One of the things I hope I can do with my hardware startup is release all the firmware, boot loader and bios related code.
I'd like to think that's something people could value, but I always hear there's no market?
I wonder if it exists at all now?
- oscargrouch 13y agoi think you could find a niche, specialized market.. like the geek and hacker people.. and start from there.. than you can make bigger moves.. i think of course only by being open source, maybe its not enough.. dont know how your project is of course.. but its good to have something that distinguish from the other stuff around.. but it can attrack attention from the geek market.. thats what firefox-os are doing after getting late in this crowded party that is the smartphone industry..
- TheLegace 13y agoI'd like to make a device that is the anti-thesis of what hacker products are expected to look like. But I definitely agree that early adopters will be hackers, developer and tech people. If I were to have a mantra it would be: "Get everyone who is a Linux developer/user and their moms' to buy this laptop." My mom is probably my first sale, she already uses Elementary OS(Ubuntu based) and she loves it, she's never going back to Windows.
