Brave Heart 'welcome letter' draft - feedback welcome

[bcnaz]

Hi everyone,

I drafted a Brave Heart welcome letter and would appreciate your feedback. Is something missing? should something be phrased differently? Let me know.

Dear Piner,

Congratulations on receiving your Brave Heart edition PinePhone! 

You are one of the very first to have a PinePhone and we hope you’ll help us and our partner projects by testing, contributing to, and documenting the development progress. Thank you!

Brave Heart phones come preloaded with a factory test software and nothing else, so you’ll have to seek out the OSs you’re interested in on your own. Most mobile distributions OS images are linked on the PinePhone subsection of the PINE64 Wiki (wiki.pine64.org). 

The PinePhone Wiki subsection also contains schematics, instructions, hardware configuration details and other useful information about your device. You can edit and contribute to the Wiki by logging in using your forum credentials. We encourage you to do so.  

Since this is fundamentally a community project, we strongly suggest you join the #pinephone chat, accessible via Telegram, Discord, IRC and Matrix (NB. all chat protocols are bridged). You can find links to the chat on PINE64 Wiki and under the Forums and Chats tab our main site (pine64.org). Your input is valuable regardless of if you’re a tester, developer or just an enthusiastic end-user, so it is important that you join the conversation.

Most partner projects - a list of which can be found under Partner Project tab on our site - also have discussion threads or chats dedicated to the PinePhone. So if you’re interested in one particular OS, and wish to contribute to it, then make sure to check out the forums and/or chats of the project in question.  

Brave Heart is meant for early-adopters - developers and enthusiasts - so we expect and even encourage you to experiment with the software and hardware by pushing the envelope. That said, please keep in mind that the device is under standard warranty, so braking components during disassembly or tampering with eFUSEs is a subject to voiding of your warranty. We trust this is common sense. 

Now, have fun with your PinePhone!

 Perhaps  some "Useful Tips"   (?)

Charge fully before use,  Currently working operating systems, 

or suggested OS'es that need more testers to participate. ?

Things that you as an 'insider' may have more knowledge of  ?
