Hi,

Did the driver-writing workshop that was talked about months ago happen at
IWP9? 


If so, is there video?

Thanks,

[9fans] Driver writing workshop at IWP9. Was: Re: apropos of the glendix post

2008-09-05 Thread Uriel
In recent years I have donated two epia mini-itx boards with plenty of
cool goodies to two persons that at the time
intended to write drivers for them, as far as I know nothing came out of either.

If they are kind enough to ship them to Greece I will be happy to
donate at least one of the boards to whoever writes the best/most
driver(s) during the conference. Maybe they are not top of the line
anymore, but they were worth quite a bit more than $99.

I also can also bring an OLPC XO if anyone is interested in working
further on the Inferno/Plan 9 ports.

Peace and best wishes

P.S.: I think they still read 9fans, but I'm bcc-ing them just in case.

 Maytbe you can get a bundle and include the cost in the workshop.
 Spend a day hacking on drivers. It ought to be a day.
