That's good news ! Of course, synchronizing that to a future LGM would be desirable and helpful to open other doors again.
Now encourage hardware constructors to open more and more their material specifications (I think of course at graphic cards) would be also of a great help to create decent drivers...! ivan ________________________________ De : Jan Claeys <[email protected]> À : create <[email protected]> Envoyé le : Lun 7 juin 2010, 23h 36min 29s Objet : [CREATE] LGM is about libre software & libre graphics; what about libre hardware? When I was at LGM, (almost?) all talks concentrated on free or open source software, using it, and/or the creation of free/libre graphics, fonts, movies, etc. And there was a lot of stuff to discover there, both from well-known and from new projects. And of course the diversity of software developers vs. users was great... But what about the hardware parts? There are some people working on actual "libre graphics hardware" too! I list a couple of hardware(-related) projects below, but I'm sure they aren't the only ones, and it might be great to invite some of these projects to future LGMs? http://www.elphel.com/ A company providing camera hardware based on "off-the-shelf" hardware components connected by open source wiring diagrams & FPGA programs. http://cinema.elphel.com/ A community project to create an "open source" digital movie camera good enough to create cinema quality movies. http://chdk.wikia.com/ Open source firmwares for "Canon PowerShot" photo cameras that give you more control over your camera than the official firmwares. Does anybody know about other similar interesting hardware(-related) projects? -- Jan Claeys _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
