open source support

Phoronix: "On the same day that we learn VIA's Linux support is basically dead and after a troubling week for Intel with regards to open-source graphics support for their new Sandy Bridge CPUs, Advanced Micro Devices has released open-source graphics driver support for their AMD Radeon HD 6000 series of graphics cards."

Phoronix: "Nearly two years ago at the Linux Foundation Summit in Austin was VIA's most recent announcement about becoming serious with open-source support.

This was not VIA's first time they claimed to back an open-source strategy, which led a number of open-source developers to immediately call VIA's open-source strategy a bluff."

The Builder.com.au site has a new article posted today about Open Source developers and why your company could benefit from adding them to your workforce.

Wine-Reviews press release: "MyLinuxSupport Inc., signs first reseller agreements with the Bordeaux Software Group and Wine Reviews to resell pre-paid open source support cards."

Phoronix: "... but AMD is putting forth its own notable effort as well. They have multiple full time employees working on open-source support and have released specifications and programming documentation for their entire range of chips.

The past few months have seen a flurry of activity in graphics related development, and a fair amount of this is centered around AMD hardware."
