Opening Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| If you remember, one of the final hurdles for drivers under Linux are
| graphics. Most everything else is open source, which is why the kernel
| contains source code for thousands of drivers. But for graphics the trend to
| become open for NVIDIA, AMD and Intel has been a slow process – as I covered
| last issue, Intel and AMD are now actively involved in opening up either
| specifications or code, to varying degrees, while NVIDIA remains steadfastly
| silent.

A New Goal for Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| With the commitment of the AllemaniACs and others from the Fedora community
| the Fedora Robotics SIG was recently founded. It aims to make Fedora fit to
| run on a variety of robots that run (possibly constrained) compatible
| machines and to use Fedora as a development platform for robots. As always in
| Fedora, this is a community effort and all help is greatly appreciated and
| welcomed.

| That sense of joyful wonder, playful construction and even sense of danger
| was resurrected both literally and metaphorically when I began exploring the
| learning potential of Bug Labs' BUG -- an open embedded Linux-based
| combination of a BUGbase and four BUGmodules.
