I don’t care that much of these fluffy corporate speak blogs they push out every now and then, and they kinda shows what angle the company seems to think matters - not aimed at the community or tuned well to the potential customer base (but towards customers that they’d like to have). It’s not even any actual engagement about issues brought up here.

Oh the irony! What happens when you run MRP against a software BOM? Are some software components “make” components and are some “buy” components?

And will your components be “in stock” when it rolls up to the Top Level Assembly? Who does the part picking list? And are shipments stopped if the parts not in stock?

And who counts inventory?

I agree 100%, Purism should try to win back the community support, instead they’re doing the opposite.

Trying to market Librem/Liberty Phone to goverment agencies even though these are operable only by the people skilled in GNU/Linux, making these nonsense blogposts instead of focusing more on fixing the issues/making sure that Crimson happens or have at least working calls and encryption + newest phosh in the beta or revisioning their existing devices (such as making Librem14 keyboard removable in newest iteration).

Come on Todd, you can do more. Please go back to us instead of trying to reach the people who dont (and never will) give a crap about free software.
