Description

F/Red stands for Fedora/Red Hat Electric Devices.

There are, currently, none or little devices made specifically for Fedora. The goals of the proposal are:

  • Generate an open hardware specification for various electric devices; tailored specifically for Fedora.
  • Generate conceptual art around those devices.
  • Develop a proposition.

In general, the idea is to design laptops, cellphones, audio players and any kind of modern devices that could be built for Fedora. There is a latent market of ~34,000,000 unique IPs  ;)
