Partially inspired by FairPhone (mentioned in the article), Luke Leighton designed the EOMA68 standard to create modular open-source computers. The project was fully funded on crowd supply [1] a couple years back and is currently testing a batch of 100 before producing enough to cover everyone&#x27;s orders [2].<p>Luke wrote a whitepaper on the importance of ecocomputing in 2015 [3] and it&#x27;s well worth a read if you&#x27;re interested in modular computing&#x2F;reducing electronic waste.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crowdsupply.com&#x2F;eoma68&#x2F;micro-desktop" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crowdsupply.com&#x2F;eoma68&#x2F;micro-desktop</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crowdsupply.com&#x2F;eoma68&#x2F;micro-desktop&#x2F;updates&#x2F;test-run-of-100-a20-cards-and-contract-work" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crowdsupply.com&#x2F;eoma68&#x2F;micro-desktop&#x2F;updates&#x2F;tes...</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rhombus-tech.net&#x2F;whitepapers&#x2F;ecocomputing_07sep2015&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rhombus-tech.net&#x2F;whitepapers&#x2F;ecocomputing_07sep2015&#x2F;</a>
