Hacked up from my first interview: The Open Graphics Project is a collaboration between the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Community, Traversal Technology, and the Open Hardware Foundation to develop open hardware products that are compatible with Free Software, both philosophically and practically. Traversal Technology has recently begun taking pre-orders on their first open hardware product, the OGD1 FPGA prototyping kit, which is an ideal platform for a wide range of hobby, professional, and academic hardware projects.

The project will first be developing reprogrammable development and prototyping boards, but aims to eventually produce a full-featured and competitive end-user graphics card. These are a starting place... let's go back and forth a bit on this.
