That post about the pledge I've been meaning to do (NVidia drivers)

| Say on the day this was announced, the Ubuntu foundation issued a
| statement something along the lines of this: "In the interst of
| showing Ubuntus foundation in and support of open drivers, we will to
| give the first person or team who can present a well design, legally
| clean implemented/reverse engineered, open source driver for the
| nvidia card series that can start up the GNOME desktop with DRI
| enabled on at least on machine within the feature freeze for Feisty+1,
| the sum of 10.000$." Maybe then I wouldn?t have been inspired to
| take this journey?

I Want to Give Away Some Money

| So what's the moral of this story? Well, two things. First, the
| Linux community needs to give back to many of these hard working
| individuals that make nightly sacrifices. Each one of us should
| choose the projects that we like and provide some kind of funding
| on a regular basis. I am tired of those who only want to take from
| the Linux community, we all need to give back.
|
| Secondly, developers need to treat people with respect and
| appreciation when they do receive encouragement with words or
| funding. How do they respond to people who give, largely
| determines their future funding.
