Hi,
Just a heads up; as many of you already know.. PowerTOP has been very
successful in saving power; so much so that there now is a new project
launched (LessWatts.org) that has a bigger scope around saving power
(more than just fixing things that keep laptop cpus out of idle), and
also has more people involved; PowerTOP will continue to be developed,
but in the next few days the website is probably going to be moved
entirely to lesswatts.org (old URL's will keep forwarding).
I'm very happy with this new "bigger" project around power saving and
I hope that the people here on the mailing list and on the IRC channel
who made PowerTOP the real success (with all the feedback, tips,
tricks, patches etc) also will participate in LessWatts to save even
more power and get more battery life for Linux on laptops and beyond.
Greetings,
Arjan van de Ven

Intel's Open Source Technology Center is pleased to announce the
LessWatts.org project, an open source project for saving power on Linux.
http://www.lesswatts.org
What is LessWatts.org about?
----------------------------
LessWatts.org is a place to bring users, developers and distribution
makers together around power reduction for linux machines, from mobile
to desktop to server to datacenter. LessWatts.org is about a
system-level approach to power savings, from the lowest level device
drivers in the kernel to the most advanced desktop applications.
LessWatts.org is about things you can do to reduce power usage.
LessWatts.org is about longer battery life, a lower airconditioning
bill, about reducing the impact of computers on the environment.
LessWatts.org brings together a set of tips & tricks, tools,
technology development projects as well as documentation around power
saving.
Projects
--------
At this time of launching the LessWatts.org project, the technology
development projects are those that Intel has started, is involved in
or has just started working on, such as PowerTOP, Tickless Idle,
Graphics and various link power management techniques. We'd like to
invite all developers and projects that focus on power saving to join
the LessWatts.org effort and community.
