Hi. I need to make an amendment to my project, otherwise I fear I will not be able to complete it.
I've started an initiative inside of the NixOS community, of people who have already made great progress on the VisionFive board, even without help from riscv.org. We need 10 boards. There are 10 very capable individuals in this initiative who would be fully able to implement this work, and will do wonders for RiscV support both on NixOS, and Linux in general, the scope of improvement they can bring to the ecosystem is far greater than just NixOS. These candidates already have great experience with modifying, bootstrapping and upstreaming support for RiscV, and are deeply embedded in the open source community. They are amongst the best able to accomplish this work, and they will very much spread the news about RiscV on their social media. The initial project proposal assumed that I would be doing most of the work, but this is no longer the case, as I have taken on more work, but if we can receive more boards, this project can be completed under the given terms.

I got a reply to my request for 10 boards from riscv.org:

Hey, Matt, thanks for the email. I'd like to see this project succeed. At this time, I cannot commit to getting boards to all 10 people, but I'll do my best.
What I need is the names, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers (for use in case of shipping problems) of the participants. Availability of boards to them will depend on their geographies and how the acceptance of other boards go. So, the sooner I have the names and geos, the greater the chance I can help.

Does this sound like an acceptable plan to move forward?
