" a NeXT black cube but using NetBSD and GNUStep and a raspberry pi 2"

That is almost EXACTLY what I'm aiming for! I'm not sure what the NetBSD is but yes I'm looking at a Raspberry Pi2 with Raspbian and GNUStep on it - get GNUStep as close to NeXTStep as we can make it. The option then is to seat it in a 3D printed mini replica Cube or use an ATX PC Cube.

I'm having Charles Mangin from RetroConnector build me a prototype 3D printed mini replica; essentially a RPi2 case. See pics attached of an Apple Lisa that we did.

I think this email is fine. Could you explain a little more about Cuboid ? Does it has a custom Window manager ?

Dear all,

I'm bringing us all into a single email discussion, we can add more people later.

So - we have a passion for NeXTStep and GNUStep, and its really key that we keep GNU going and inject some life back into it.

Open to discussion of course, but how I feel we can do this is by working together and develop GNUStep into something great which acts as both a homage to NeXTStep OS but also gives us the opportunity to develop our "one day I want to do..." projects!

As an example I'm working on Cuboid, a mini replica NeXT Cube using Raspbian and GNU. I've already had help and support from Richard and Riccardo, and I can't wait to share the end result with everyone!

Ok - so do we want to do this through this email, LinkedIn or a Google group maybe?

Thanks

Adam
