Here you are. I'm going to get some sleep and I'll try to find some time 
tomorrow to actually comment on it...

The Open-Graphics Project

- Building a graphics card
- For FLOSS softwares, and operating system
- Fully published specs
- Drivers that are free software

What is OGP ?

- A project started by Timothy Miller, from TechSource.
- Sustained and developed through contributions
- The hardware production is undertaken by Traversal Technology
- Traversal Technology is a separate company created by OGP members Mr.

The Open Graphics Card

- A graphics card for FLOSS softwares, and operating system.
- 2D graphics performance
- OpenGL support
- Dual DVI
- TV Output
- 256 Mb memory
- PCI, PCIe

The community needs

Openly published documentation for the hardware's logical, electrical, 
and mechanical interfaces

Hardware integration into larger systems

Techical support during the full service life, regardless of whether the 
manufacturer is able to do so

The freedom to modify and redistribute supporting software as needs 
evolve

The freedom to re-use all volunteer-contributed parts of the design in 
fully open designs

The business needs

In order to be interesting to the free software community and OEM 
vendors such a card should at a minimum meet the following 
requirements:

- Programming interface must be fully documented

- No IP encumberment for implementing drivers

- Very good 2d graphics performance

- Full OpenGL implementation with hardware acceleration

- Good support for xv (yuv->rgb, scaling)for video playback

- Reasonable price!
