This organization's goals are in tune with that of free software. Please
keep them in mind when you go about your daily advocating. 

Every manufacturer that subscribes to the principles of Open Hardware is
helping free OSes to better support existing hardware. This will go far
toward advancing the user base of FreeBSD. 

This group is in its infancy. It seems they only got started in August of
last year. Hopefully, with support of users, they can become influential
enough that many, many OEMs will make driver source and other documents
freely available.

(Side note: I have contacted them but they have not returned my message
yet.)

Thank you,       | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at.
