Maybe hyphenated, "Fully-published". What what we mean is "Complete specs published".
- Drivers that are free software
Free Software
What is OGP ? - A project started by Timothy Miller, from TechSource.
Tech Source, Inc. [At least put in the space.] Optional: I've started using my middle name, "Normand" as a way to distinguish myself from the overabundance of others named "Timothy Miller". Include it?
- Sustained and developed through contributions - The hardware production is undertaken by Traversal Technology
Maybe: Traversal Technology, LLC
- Traversal Technology is a separate company created by OGP members Mr. Miller and others
... OGP founder Timothy Miller and others. Maybe mention something about the OHF: - Open Hardware Foundation is a separate non-profit to manage donations and tie together Free Hardware Design communities; created by OGP member Patrick McNamara and others.
The Open Graphics Card - A graphics card for FLOSS softwares, and operating system.
software... operating systems
- 2D graphics performance
Do you mean "performance 2D graphics"? What DO you mean? Maybe "high-performance 2D graphics"?
- OpenGL support - Dual DVI
... and high-res analog
- TV Output - 256 Mb memory
MiB
- PCI, PCIe The community needs Openly published documentation for the hardware's logical, electrical, and mechanical interfaces
I think "Openly-published" may be something you would hyphenate. But I might suggest "Complete published" or "Published complete".
Hardware integration into larger systems Techical support during the full service life, regardless of whether the manufacturer is able to do so
... is able to provide it.
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
Is Free Software typically capitalized?
vendors such a card should at a minimum meet the following requirements: - Programming interface must be fully documented - No IP encumberment for implementing drivers
encumberances?
- Very good 2d graphics performance
2D
- Full OpenGL implementation with hardware acceleration
It's actually more like "Full OpenGL 1.3..."
- Good support for xv (yuv->rgb, scaling)for video playback - Reasonable price!
