random thoughts. For a few of the audience being targetted, i wonder if they adequately realize that there are serious issues about binary drivers that may yet come to a head. Only Recently we saw the gpl was updated and changed to deal with a percieved problem with software and freedom - and it can change again. Currently there significant distributors who also feel there is a problem with these binary drivers. eg: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems#NVIDIA snippet: The NVIDIA graphics drivers are proprietary and many kernel developers consider this driver to violate the GPL license of the kernel. Fedora does not include proprietary software. endquote anyway, looking over the slides.. slide 12 perhaps putting a high dollar figure when mentioning ASICS is unnecessary. Those who are in the field know the risks and amounts involved. Those not in the field may be intimidated by it. They do need to know the OGP fpga design helps us develop a proven design and to limit unnecessary expensive ASIC development. What also might also help is a mention of how long some of the group have been developing for ASICS, stressing the experience of several of the developers. slide 4 Do you want to mention the demand for embedded graphics cards as a factor? jb _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
