On a brighter note, this document has just been released. A very interesting analysis on a pluri-disciplinary basis of how free software impacts europe and others. It's probably too long to read for fun (almost 300 pages) but has plenty of charts that you can show to others ;-)

So what solutions shall we try?
We'd like to develop a wearable setup which is as efficient, cheap, light and small as possible with commercially available products so it can be easily cloned and replicated. We want it to be as simple as possible but as complete too while being easy to maintain over time. The design should really be about open standards, free softwares and general purpose computers with enough extra room (CPU, RAM, disks) for easy extensions.

Another important goal is to put as much control in the hand of the user. We realized that most needs for this project exist at least partially in some form or another and we think that with some glue with could try and make them all fit together for an interesting result. It would be impossible for us to reinvent the wheel and therefore a solid base of well known free software should be the basis for most of our requirements.
