From their blog:
"We’re launching a crowdfunding campaign around our Novena open hardware computing platform. Originally, this started as a hobby project to build a computer just for me and xobs – something that we would use every day, easy to extend and to mod, our very own Swiss Army knife. I’ve posted here a couple of times about our experience building it, and it got a lot of interest. So by popular demand, we’ve prepared a crowdfunding offering and you can finally be a backer."

Attention!
This is not a device made for consumer home use!
The internal electronics are exposed during normal operation to facilitate easy access by developers and professionals.
Is it possible to use Trisquel on the Novena main board?
As dadix said the use of the Novena laptop is limited. But as a fixed PC I would love to use just the Novena main board.
No, but the infamously close to perfectly being freedom-friendly Debian should.
Thanks for your reply!
Can you explain why Trisquel will not run on the Novena main board please? As far as I know, Triquel stems from Ubuntu and Ubuntu stems from Debian. In which aspect differs Trisquel from Debian?
On the Novena crowd funding site it says: "All configurations will come with Debian (GNU/Linux) pre-installed, but of course you can build and install whatever distro you prefer!"
Novena is some ARM flavor of hardware architecture. Debian supports currently 9 archs, Ubuntu 5 and Trisquel only 2.
