Was having a look for a stand alone Stripboard Arduino plan yesterday, and as i couldnt find one, I played around and came up with this.
(this is my first ever circuit so im sure there are flaws and better ways to do it, but thought it may be a good starting point? please re-work and repost! )
Good stuff! Did you use a CAD program to lay out the strip-board? And if you did, what program was it? Looks like a useful thing to know about!
I made an Arduino-like gadget on strip-board, although it doesn't have a bootloader, and is programmed with an AVR in-system programmer. Photos are on Flickr, here: ATmega8 board | Flickr

Nope, just drew it out on paper, made it, then drew it up on photo shop (at witch point i started to notice all the ways i could have trimmed it down in size and work! Mk2 will be alot smaller!)

Really like what you have done using the 16 female pin headers, will be nicking that trick!
could do with finding a way around fitting ISP onto stripboard.
Glad you liked the dual row headers! They're a form of DIN 41612 connector, but I suspect that you'll not like 'em so much when you see the price... I got a small pile of them from an old company where we used them inside the sonar tow-fish. You can get cheaper dual-row headers from Farnell, in black:
As for the stripboard and the ISP connector, it's actually "triple pad board" from Maplin's. The strips are only three holes long, then there's a gap, then another three hole strip, then a gap, and so on.
Great stuff, I was poking round looking for such a resource, but wasn't brave enough to start building without one.
I've been using proto/strip board for my wee projects, and find it is pretty flexible, my soldering skills have moved from terrible to poor, and I've been learning a lot about paths of least resistance.
Being able to produce my own Ghettodunio from stuff I can pick up at Jaycar would be very cool.
A good protoboard design, allowing people to build their own boards without needing specific PCB's would be a great resource to the community.
It has the Atmega 328 on it.
Ugly, but it is compatible with all arduino shields I have.
The extra components found on a normal arduino have been eliminated to save power in sleep mode.
