I can bulk order, but I need the money to be able to. Any chance of funding? Andy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I can fund one for myself ;). But I might actually try to get that one shipped to the US and from there to LinuxCon. Let me ask around for funding. Would you be willing to play the uk proxy, take the delivery and send them on to .de? You can't order any for delivery to Germany.

With the big plus that with daily use you test totally different and give other feedback - on the other side it is a different challenge, too.
