I am writing this mail as to let you all know that my focus with respect to DRI development is changing and that I will no longer be able to work on the Savage driver. As of Tuesday I am an employee of ATI Technologies, Inc. I relocated to Toronto, Canada last weekend. I no longer have any Savage hardware here, and even if I did I would be in a very frustrating position of not being allowed to officially work on the driver since that would conflict with my interests as an ATI employee.
That's great news! It's always good to see people from the open-source community get paying jobs. :) Especially when those jobs allow them to continue contributing in one way or another.
I had informed a few people of this upcoming change a couple of months ago in the hope to find someone to take over maintainership of the Savage 3D driver, but no one stepped up so far. I sincerely hope that the Savage driver will not become bit-rot. I'd like to thank everybody who has contributed to the Savage 3D driver while I've been working on it. My interest in DRI in general has not ceased though. I'm working in ATI's Linux team, so I will be dealing with DRI in one way or another. Once things settle down a little here (need to find an apartment and everything) I will probably continue contributing to the open source DRI development, though as far as hardware-specifics are concerned, I will be limited to ATI hardware.
Finish up the mach64 driver, maybe? ;) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo. Introducing Yahoo!
