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

[Reginald Beardsley]

 How does anyone other than an  OEM get access to the boards to test them?
We have $1000 in the bank and  two people are contributing over half the $303 USD cost of running the infrastructure each month.  For reasons of overload at founding, neither of the leading supporters are members of OIDA.  Furthermore, there is no [Donate] on the openindiana.org home page to link to the donation site.
The OIDA financials are at the bottom of the page.

I suggested a spreadsheet for donating to the support of particular activities so that we might be able to build a gig economy for a few people.
Have Fun!Reg

 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
