Open Graphics Project Looking For Funding

An anonymous reader writes "The Open Graphics Project was formed last year to create a free and open source friendly graphics card. According to this article on KernelTrap, the project lost their company backing a couple of months ago, but has decided to go forward with the effort with money from the developer's own pockets. The team plans to release a prototype card to the public in November, at which time they'll need to find $1 million dollars for the effort to continue." I continue to wonder about the Open Hardware projects but call me skeptical- people contribute to Open Source because it typically costs little more than time.

They want to make a free graphics card? No wonder they need funding!

Here is a summary of their investor prospectus:

1) Develop and give away a free, open source video card
2) ??
3) Profit
