Right now I'm testing the first prototype of project vga, it should
be demo-able in May if I haven't done anything stupid and blown it up
by then. Would Linuxtag be a place to do a demo? It wouldn't be an
OGD1, but it would be a ported/adapted version of the OGD1-verilog
running. OGD1 would be even better naturally, but that depends on
whether it'd be possible to get one to Germany in May.
Sounds like a fun form of 'holiday'. :)

We could use my SFD2007 presentation [1] as a starting point. We
could add some stuff about OGA1, to set ourselves apart from ATI,

since open hardware is new, that needs to be explained.
Sounds good to me. AFAIK the initial abstract does not need to be
too detailed. So a short summary of your talk would be fine.
What we could also do is go another way, and try and go for the
Social Aspects of Open Source track, and do an open hardware
philosophy talk with OGP/OGD1/OGA1 used as an example. We could try
and add some home entertainment sauce to it, and a bit of DRM
flavouring.
How about making two talks? One introducing OGP/OGD/TT and about
the technical aspects and one about the philosophy behind it.
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?

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.
