Netgear has launched a community site, MyOpenRouter and they are looking for hackers. From Android, Ubuntu Mobile, to TI's support of FOSS and now Netgear, I really see 2008 as a kind of tipping point for open source hardware. Netgear's success in this area can further help to demonstrate that FOSS is not only good for product development, but is a big consumer benefit too. Please join us in welcoming Netgear to the open hardware fold and, please visit the Neuros hacker welcome page to MyOpenRouter
Despite some initial hiccups (if you are on the list, we apologize..), the revised Neuros Developer Mailing List, hosted on Google Groups, has been updated.
All email to the previous developer mailing list, Neuros-DM320Hardware@googlegroups.com, should now be directed to neuros@googlegroups.com. You can visit the group here: http://groups.google.com/group/neuros
Nero's email below explains why we are making this move, and provides more details on the transition.
From today Consumer Electronics Association Daily Brief:
"It's bad karma as a musician to spend energy trying to stop people from listening to your music," says Wilco's chief singer and songwriter Jeff Tweedy. "If someone downloads our record and plays it to five of their friends, that's five more people who just might come and see us play. For us, that's how we've made our living." The band is no stranger to the value of digital freedom. When their then-record label Reprise rejected Yankee Hotel Foxtrot because it was "not commercial enough," Wilco bought it back and put it out for free. When they finally released it, it became their best-selling album. When copies of A Ghost is Born started shooting around the Web before the record's official release, fans contacted Wilco and wanted to pay for it in good faith to show that the downloading community wasn't about piracy but about the artists. Wilco directed the money to Doctors Without Borders. The album went on to sell more than previous, and the band started regularly posting free tracks, remixes and live concert recordings on their Web site. Just another way digital freedom is supporting fans and artists alike.
I was just fixing up the wiki the other day and happened upon the TI Free Software page on our wiki and I was amazed to see how far things have come with TI over just the last couple years. I was delighted to speak at the first FOSS session at TI's recent developers conference and to see how much activity and excitement there is over free software there. I continue to believe that we're at an exciting tipping point with open electronics and TI's support will go a long way towards making this happen. There was a great deal of skepticism about our partnership with TI early on, but I believe that our approach has shown that small efforts can sometimes have a big effect even at large, slow moving companies, and I hope we can continue making these inroads. Just a couple years ago, our partnership with TI was considered more a free software liability than an asset, but with recent developments including the release of a free DSP compiler and many significant announcements on the way, I think TI is fast becoming a key partner to the free software community. Today, the TI silicon roadmap including Davinci and OMAP is an exciting one and one that we hope to continue to help advance with innovative products and free software.
Neuros will be speaking and exhibiting at LugRadio Live in San Francisco on April 12 and 13th. If you're not familiar with Lugradio, it's a great time and a very different spin on a lug meeting. It's only $10 for admission to the whole weekend and there are free gifts and prizes.
In fact all the attendees will receive a Neuros secret decoder shot glass which will allow you to participate in additional chances to win free OSDs, and other special offers and other prizes. There are also incentives to pre-register (please reference Neuros if you pre-register). We'll be talking and showing our next generation platform and making some significant announcements there, so stay tuned.
Thank you for your submission.
We will get back to you shortly.
