Hmm. Well, if I'm there anyway...I would have to bring my OHF hat I guess :-). So, here's an attempt at an abstract, comments welcome. I assume you've already registered the OGP, or are going to do so? Will you handle this as well? Lourens Abstract: The Open Graphics Project By Lourens Veen, The Open Graphics Project The goal of the Open Graphics Project is to produce a fully open graphics chip and video card. Since its inception in late 2004, the project has been steadily working towards this goal, which has resulted in the Open Graphics Development Board 1 (OGD1), an FPGA-based development board with video output and on-board DDR RAM. Our other current main activity is the development of the first Open Graphics Architecture, the hardware design for our first video chip. In this presentation I will discuss past, present and future of the Open Graphics Project, including the economics of the project and an in-depth look at OGD1 and OGA1. Abstract: Philosophy and Economics of Open Hardware By Lourens Veen, The Open Hardware Foundation In recent years, and even before that, we have seen a multitude of projects and products that use the term "Open Hardware" to describe themselves see the light. But what is Open Hardware? Who decides what is open enough, and how? What are the issues that have to be dealt with in creating an Open Hardware definition, and how does one license Open Hardware? In this presentation I will introduce the Open Hardware Foundation, and, together with the audience, explore these issues.
