About the Maker(s)

Cathy Malmrose
Motivated by FOSS, the Maker movement, and recyclers like www.accrc.org we are building laptops with open hardware policies, allowing users to swap out parts for self-motivated upgrades without voiding the laptop's warranty, thus extending the life of the laptop. We are a mom and pop shop based in Berkeley, CA surrounded by component suppliers and a booming sense of adventure for global support structures. Open source; open hardware.
