Whoa, I wasn't very careful with my wording. It was intended as a quick
sketch of the structure, not as the exact text on the slides. Here's an
attempt at improving some of the slides
Motivation
- Few graphics cards with FOSS drivers
- Poor support for smaller customers in embedded space
- Hobbyists and hardware hacking
Open Hardware
- Disclosure of hardware design specs
- FOSS compatible
- Long tail
- Hardware not interesting to big companies
- Support for more platforms
- Greater self-sufficiency for FOSS community
Economics
- FOSS design is easy
- Hardware is not Software
- Prototyping
- Testing
- Fabrication
- How to get actual hardware?
The OGP's Hardware (was "The Hardware")
- Graphics Chip
- Desktop Graphics Card
- Milestones
- Specification
- Design
- Prototyping Platform
Requirements
- 3D desktops / GUI
- Embedded applications
- Minimalistic design
- Low power consumption
- Fast, simple, high-yield, affordable
The OGA Specification (was "GPU Architecture: OGA")
[...]
Hardware Designs (was "Graphics Hardware")

Demo of OGD1P
- You're looking at it!
- OGD1P board in this PC
- Programmed to function as a primitive graphics card
- It works, but no hardware rendering yet
Questions

I added these changes and applied my OGD template (including edited
images) to get

At least slides 10, 11, 13 and 18 still need formatting work. Perhaps
they should be split, or simplified. Oh, and the date the speech will
be given should be included, and Timothy, your name should be on the
title slide!
