[ubuntu-uk] Open nVidia Linux Driver Pledge Nearly Complete
Hi there, Many of those who post on the lists that I've essentially just spammed will have heard about this Pledge already. For those that don't know, this pledge was started by David Nielsen to get some money so that the Project Nouveau people had it a little easier. They are trying to develop decent open source nVidia drivers, so that we don't have to put up with binary blobs and the GPL arguments that they cause. I'm hoping to mop up the last few people who forgot to sign it, didn't sign it because they didn't get it, or just thought it wouldn't get anywhere Please head on over to http://www.pledgebank.com/nouveaudriver/ and sign the pledge and get your $10 (£$7) ready. I've signed it basically because I'm an idiot and can't code, but have a little bit of money that I think will be worthwhile donating to Project Nouveau. The pledge founder David Nielsen has a blog post, http://lovesunix.net/blog/?p=153, about what he has done and a small explanation of why. Currently only 60 or so more people are needed to finish this off and get some good publicity for the open source community about what we can do when we work together.
