Mothballing Kestrel Computer Project.

A project log for Kestrel Computer Project

The Kestrel project is all about freedom of computing and the freedom of learning using a completely open hardware and software design.

Abstract

I’ve been unemployed since November 2016, and Kestrel-3 progress has slowed to a crawl despite all my efforts devoted exclusively towards it. Without small wins, I lose hope and it manifests when attempting to look for a job. Mothballing this project in favor of other projects is the only way forward. I’ll be resurrecting my old attempt at self-employment, RezuRezu, in the hopes that it either helps me land another job soon-ish, or I actually succeed in running my own company.

Thanks for the well-wishes.  I hope to get to a point where I can resume work on Kestrel sooner rather than later.

Sorry to hear about your travails, Sam - I'm sure we all have a number of half-completed projects, and it is sometimes better to let go of something which just isn't going to happen, but your tale as told here is particularly bleak. Here's hoping things will pick up for you. Thanks as ever for sharing your work - open source is the future!
