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!
No, seriously. I have no money. My name is Darl and I gambled everything I had, plus several million dollars of other folk's money, and I lost miserably. I'm roaming the country now, going from public terminal to public terminal, trying to stay clear of the pissed of investors and the hitmen they've hired. I couldn't even sell my soul for money if I tried.
