X.Org Project Has Five New Summer Projects
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in March we talked about the possible
| X.Org projects this year during Google's
| Summer of Code, for which X.Org is a
| veteran participant (in the past items like
| the ATI R300 Gallium3D driver and generic
| GPU video decoding have been tackled), but
| the list of accepted projects for this
| summer have now been announced. Gallium3D
| H.264 video decoding, an OpenGL 3.2 state
| tracker, and porting of the DRM code to
| GNU/Hurd were among the talked about
| possibilities, but none of those will be
| addressed as part of GSoC 2010.

What Do You Want From NVIDIA's Next Driver?
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the common complaints that's also
| come up as of late with NVIDIA's latest
| Linux drivers have been issues surrounding
| PowerMizer not working correctly, which is
| hopefully one of the fixes that will work
| its way into NVIDIA's Release 256 for Linux
| / OpenSolaris / FreeBSD.
|
| In 2006 and 2007 there were security
| problems with the binary NVIDIA Linux
| driver and now there is apparently a new
| zero-day vulnerability within NVIDIA's
| Linux stack, which we hope will be fixed by
| the NVIDIA 256.xx release.

A challenge to alter Open Source landscape
,----[ Quote ]
| If the community-driven Open Source
| application development is to be considered
| the new age equivalent of the hippie
| movement, the coding community goes through
| a Summer of '69 almost every year.
|
| Coding challenges like the Google Summer of
| Code (SoC), organised between May and
| August, have, in many ways, altered the
| landscape of Open Source endeavours.
|
| UNIX was written by one person in a month,
| but today the space has been democratised,
| and an enthusiastic under-grad sending in
| an important bug fix becomes the new star
| on an Open Source mailing list.
