Hello there!
Just saw that one can apply for some sample Hardaware. Thats good.

In Short: I am just setting up a Forum and baught a Domain (http://www.forum-orangepi.de) for it. In near future i would like to setup a shop for Orange Pi and equipment.
I think there is a market for Orange Pi 2 and Orange Pi mini 2, because they are cheap and powerful. Some of my customers (mostly Setup Webservers on Raspberry or Banana Pi) are very interested in getting more power for small money!

FIrst steps, when approved for samples: I would make a benchmarking test between Raspberry Pi B+, Raspberry 2, BananaPi and Orange Pi.
I would write some guest articles for known german sbc-techportal http://www.einplatinencomputer.com and post on Google+ and twitter. I want to translate Tutorials for setting up Orange Pi initially.  Furthermore i would setup things like owncloud, a Samba Server, Subsonic and look for overall performance and stability compared to the other Pis mentioned above. And i would test how it performs as a desktop computer. Because OrangePi isn't well-known in germany now, i'll or we'll have to start marketing it by different actions. In step two i would invest in a shop-software.


I would like to build a a long-term business relationship on mutual trust, everything that i write will be under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
Thank you for the possibility to apply. I you have more questions: Just ask. I have many ideas, but dont want to write them down in a public forum. WIth a strong partner i could easily manage to achieve them!

Kind regards

Sebastian Kolpert
