Dear backers,

We are ecstatic to have passed $200k in our campaign to bring Novena to the world! Thanks to all our existing backers and fans for all the support they have lent to our project — without your help we wouldn’t be here.

We now have $50k left to raise in 19 days; even more if we’re to hit any of our stretch goals, which include hot topics like 3D graphics drivers and hardware breakout boards. Please keep up the good work and remind your friends and colleagues about why open hardware matters, how much fun it can be, and how hackable platforms like ours can accelerate research and development.

To keep up with the latest press we’ve been getting, or to introduce your friends to Novena, check out these two recent articles:

• Designing and Building an "Open-Hardware" Laptop
• World's First Open Source Laptop Gets Wideband Software-Defined Radio

Community is the lifeblood of any open source project, so we can’t make it without your help. Thank you again!

Cheers,

xobs and bunnie
