FSF Award to Brian Paul & Get The Stream
During LWCE last week, LinuxWorld Paris was also going on. RMS [?] was there, and gave this year's award to Brian Paul. Brian is known for his amazing work on the Mesa 3D Graphics library - and deserves lots of credit. They took a *really* big video shoot of it - you can grab the video and a player from our servers at SourceForge.
I'm glad to see that SGI has not tried to do anything to stop or hinder the mesa3d project. SGI has allowed him to succeed where others have hindered. Anyone remember 3dfx getting pissed off when creative labs made a glide wrapper for their tnt card?
As i have heard, SGI has done nothing but help this guy and the project. I'm very glad to see that.
Chalk another one up for sgi.
Has anyone actuallly seen this video???
Maybe it's Really Good!
i bet it includes the director's cut, comments from the award givers, alternative endings, and maybe even an interactive first person ceremony at the end!
i can't wait (the 2 hours it'll take) to see this! i'm as excited with anticipation as when i stood in line 30+ days for Star Wars tickets!
