Open Graphics Project to Announce Pre-Orders
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Graphics Project founder Timothy Miller recently noted on the project's
| mailing list that they are set to announce that their first hardware, the
| OGD1, is ready for pre-order.
|
| [...]
|
| He then explained that though the OGD1 could function as a graphics card, it
| is instead offered as a competitively priced FPGA development kit, "we need
| to make it clear what OGD1 is and why buying one is an important step for
| Free Software..."

| The OGP grew rapidly after I first started it, and it's continued to
| grow gradually since then. Now, we have Traversal Technology and also
| the Open Hardware Foundation that's dedicated to the non-profit,
| community, and democratic aspects of the project. Our mailing list has
| over 500 members, including well-known Linux kernel hackers, 3D graphics
| experts, college professors, representatives of many other open
| source projects, hardware designers, and people who want to become
| hardware designers.
