[OpenIndiana-discuss] [discuss] Founding of OIDA (previously known as just the Association)

[Atiq Rahman]

Hi Till,
Following up on my earlier note: has there been any progress on updating
OpenIndiana's graphics stack to support newer GPUs?

If that work has been delayed, is funding a constraint? I would also be
interested to know whether recent events have generated any funds for
OIDA that could support this work.


Best,
Atiq
