Gathering interest in a new batch of jolla hardware keyboards — looking for hardware hackers to take it on
 

Why this topic is?

Becouse:

=========================================
As you can see here nor dirkvl neither Jolla will create another batch of hardware keyboards.

This thread is an attempt to gather all interested people so that maybe, after seeing enough interest, another hardware hacker will take on the job of producing more keyboards, using dirkvl's design.

I'm also suggesting allocating a small percentage of the gathered money as a donation to dirkvl, as without his initial work this would never be possible

If it will be I, I send links to all wanters to my pages in social networks and IRL name/surname.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

I think the language barrier has caused a misunderstanding. sHaggY_caT is trying to crowdfund another batch of keyboards by someone who might be interested if he sees there is potential, by re-using dirkvl's work, which in itself I think is a noble cause.

He was also kind enough to allocate a small part of the would-be-funds as a donation to the original creator of the keyboard as a thank you gesture.

So, I too declare my interest here, and hope that total interested people are enough for someone to step up and start producing more keyboards.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

Yes, it is correctly. If you want be coordinator of this project, it will be best.

Or I can be coordinator temporary.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

I think it's a "she" (but let's use "they" as it's the English way of hacking the lack of genderless pronouns), and I'm not sure whether TMO is the right place to crowdfund anything.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

Please not talk about me :)
I think it is bad idea. I can send link to my profile in social networks, if you don't send it to another or public here.

This forum can be start platform to crowdfund: we can search here coordinator (i think, me is bad idea, becouse languge barier), and find engeener.

After we find they, we are can start craudsorsing program on special site.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

Why not? First project was birthed here, there are people with knowhow. Might be interested in backup kb

EDIT: second batch would kill 250$+ prices on ebay though

If i will be last in queue, are you deleting all your posts in this topic?

Poor girl, you can now see why this community is getting smaller and smaller :(

Re: Gathering interest in a new batch of jolla hardware keyboards — looking for hardware hackers to take it on
 

Ok, sign me up for a 100$, if material availability isn't a problem someone with access to 3d printer should be able to convert 1->2$, with 250$ price more like 1-5

Wanters, please use template: is much chaos in this topic.
We need try reduce it.

Re: Gathering interest in a new batch of jolla hardware keyboards — looking for hardware hackers to take it on
 

I would certainly like to join the HWKB club. Perhaps the design could be improved as well. Not sure if it is possible but I would prefer a bigger keyboard.

I don't use meme templates, sorry, that's dirkvl

Re: Gathering interest in a new batch of jolla hardware keyboards — looking for hardware hackers to take it on

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

Because TMO doesn't allow to collect money for crowdfunding in a secure manner. The original OH keyboard was mainly driven by dirkvl, who did all the physical work, collected money and whatnot. The software side was done by somebody else, granted. This approach lacks one key component.

I may be wrong though, so go ahead if you think this is feasible...

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

We are need find wanters and engeneer. May be, we are need new coordinator(not me).
After we are have they, and talk about format, we can use special platform.

And, if I will be coordinator, i will de-anonimous myself to wanters keyboard in PM.

If dirkvl want, he in role our engeneer will be best (with some smaller cost)!

dirkvl, thank you very much to delete bad posts! I afraid write to you at ferst, bother to you in PM. If you really want help to us (or will want in future) please write to my PM at ferst.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

OK, we are understood :)

I think, humans not like bureaucracy, and now I try write form of order myself.
But if you can, please use template.


Also, i think good idea make PHP-script (I have jet to holiday tmorrow, but i will be have Internet, and can create it) to generate order.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
 

Engineer willing to do the work will post his paypal, there, organised. The building blocks are out there, who wants to invest some time for nice profit is the question

Re: Gathering interest in a new batch of jolla hardware keyboards — looking for hardware hackers to take it on
 

I'd love to have one too! Personaly I'd prefere a slider mechanism like the one of the nokia n97, but dirks design would be fine too.
