Yeah, why not! In the short term, we have various LinuxFund hardware project funds. There's OGD1 and gEDA, for instance. OGD1 and gEDA cover different angles, and I think they're both very important. I'm not sure if there are other more optimal things we can do to push open hardware forward, but these are what I know about. > > > > //Peter > _______________________________________________ > Open-graphics mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics > List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com) > -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
