Also, this sponsorship would include a certain amount of free passes for the european SNDF conference in Frankfurt from September 28 to 30: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=02VS0llCc5pzMP2861 Including food and access to the training sessions there, including some specialized training on altivec and maybe on the pegasos hardware, i am not yet sure of the details of those yet. The pegasos 2 boxes are full systems : Pegasos 2 micro-atx motherboard. - 1 cpu slot holding a 1Ghz 7447 G4 cpu. - 2 DDR slots for up to 2GB of memory. - 1 pci-x disguised as AGP. - 3 pci slots. - 1 gigabit ethernet on the northbridge. - 1 10/100 ethernet on the via southbridge. - firewire (2 external, 1 internal) - usb 1.1 (2 external, 1 from panel) - floppy, ide, sound, serial, parallel, at keyboard/mouse, ... microatx/flexatx low profile case (http://www.aopen.nl/products/Housing/H360series.htm) Radeon 9200 SE low profile. 40GB seagate harddisk samsung CD-burner/DVD reader combo. Now, to the strings attached to all of this. The box are in exchange of some development you would do on it, but on projects of your chosing, and the only constraint seen to be the sending of monthly development reports about this project. Obviously, people wanting to do some altivec related development are a prime choice for this, as the bundle also include some (non-free though) altivec optimizing software. Ok, everyone who is interested by either of those, please mail me your coordinates (shipping address, phone, email), as well as if you would like and SNDF pass, and a small description of the project you would be working on. Note: debian, including debian-installer, work perfectly on those boxes already. Note, if you know of people who might be interested, and who are no DD and thus not able to read this, you are free to forward this to them. Don't post it on public lists or something such though without consulting with me first. Friendly, Sven Luther -- Please respect the privacy of this mailing list.
