I remember when that whole thing went down, that I'd wait a bit for thier Response. Since then I must admit, I've been much out of the Loop. Did they ever Respond or even acknowledge it?

I've also been Saving up for a FW12, and with me having almost enough to order one I think its plenty Important to revisit this... so now that the Dust has settled, what do you all think?

On reflection, RISC-V should have been included. Framework gave two computers to them.

There are two universities, one youth education non-profit, and the rest are conferences. Its very different to give money to a software project to support development costs, and a conference. Paying for an event is different, especially when they are paying for a booth, which makes it more of a marketing expense.

There are only 4 software projects with ongoing support. That's the concern. I think few would have an issue with framework's sponsorships if their support of hyperland was a one time donation. The document shows continued ongoing support of €600 per month.
