It has a few nice improvements over glibc, but the primary motivation seems to be that it’s a ‘more friendly upstream project’ than glibc. Glibc’s maintainer, Ulrich Drepper, has had a contentious relationship with Debian’s project leadership; in 2007 the Debian Project Leader sent an email criticizing Drepper for refusing to fix a bug on glibc on the ARM architecture because in Drepper’s words it was ‘for the sole benefit of this embedded crap.'”

Sometimes it’s simply overwhelming how many gorgeous photos there are on Flickr (Flickr reviews) – sifting through them to find a picture to use on your blog or to just admire can be a chore.

David Vuorio writes “The Open Graphics Project aims to develop a fully open-source graphics card; all specs, designs, and source code are released under Free licenses. Right now, FPGAs (large-scale reprogrammable chips) are used to build a development platform called OGD1. They’ve just completed an alpha version of legacy VGA emulation, apparently not an easy feat. This YouTube clip shows Gentoo booting up in text mode, with OGD1 acting as the primary display. The Linux Fund is receiving donations, so that ten OGD1 boards can be bought (at cost) for developers. Also, the FSF shows their interest by asking volunteers to help with the OGP wiki.”
