Etymology
The species name is formed from the family name of the deceased Kenyan biologist Ernest Obanda.

gollark: Although to be honest a Pi0 may be underpowered for general use... so maybe a compute module or SOPine?
gollark: There's already the ZeroPhone, but it's bulky and not very good.

gollark: Though it's less open, considering the RPi Foundation's annoyingness.
