Laen-

I didn't pay you for the boards I got today. Do you have a total
already or should I just dig it up myself ($30 or so I think).

Thanks,

Brad.

Hello all,

Might anyone have access to a laser cutter that could cut some openings
for some DVI ports plus a hole in some PCI card backplates?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello all,

I am pleased to report that the FPGA-based OGD1 video and prototyping
boards are available today. Developers who agree to advance them can
apply to receive one by mailing og...@linuxfund.org with a description of
their background and what cool thing they would do with it.

They are available for purchase for $750, 1/2 what they were originally
offered at.

Find out more at: http://linuxfund.org/projects/ogd1/

I'll try to drop into the meeting again with one.

Thanks!

Hi Mike -

Are there any details available about the board? I went to the web site, but there's only some general info. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like more details about what the board can do and what development tools exist.

Thanks.

Hello all,

Might anyone have access to a laser cutter that could cut this template
out of a PCI slot blank/bracket?

The dimensions might require a little adjustment.

Did you look at www.opengraphics.org ?

The meat is there, often hidden.

Doing an SVN checkout is a good start.

Michael,

Laser cutters capable of cutting metal are a big jump in size and cost
from what many of us are used to, and thus a lot harder to come by.
I've contacted you offline w/ one potential source.
Otherwise, BCLaserworks, http://www.bclaserworks.com/cutting.html who
has been supportive of PARTS in the past offers a couple suggestions
for local metal laser cutting:
http://www.nw-technologies.com/
http://www.usherprecision.com/

Best of luck!

Monty
