mvo is Michael Vogt, ogra is Oliver Grawert, both of which are on the Snappy team at Canonical.

For clarification, we have a number of official reference platforms produced by the Snappy team, they are:

* Raspberry Pi2/3
* Qualcomm Dragonboard 410c
* x86 32/64

The Beaglbone black support is what we call a ‘community build’, done by enthusiasts but not part of the official list. We very much encourage people to create community builds for their favourite boards and this is what ogra and mvo have done.

I think you should talk to element14 about having Ubuntu Core as an official option or directly with Beagleboard themselves. Beagleboard have a forum where you could start the conversation or contact information on - https://beagleboard.org/about <https://beagleboard.org/about>.

Regards,
Jamie.
