Hi lists hardware@freebsd.org http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware pc532@bungi.com http://www.bungi.com/pc532/ pc532@netbsd.org http://www.netbsd.org/ports/pc532/ cc FYI Frederic Muller - SFI <fred@softwarefreedomday.org>, "Gary Jennejohn (Denx)" <garyj@denx.de>, colorhug@hughski.com I'm forwarding an interesting free hardware project below, that will probably interest some on these lists. I'm not involved, [but could be tempted].

A slightly off season off topic post, but since it's addressing one of my itches I thought I would share. Richard Hughes has just launched a fully free (as in freedom) colorimeter project where both the hardware schematics, the firmware and the software will be released under a free license. He is looking for pre-orders (50) and ships worldwide. Initial orders will get a 20% discount making the final price at 48 GBP + shipping and packing. Discount assume you'll be contributing to the project by helping out testing the hardware and software and it might be a bit more complicated than just plug-and-play. Full announcement here: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2011/11/13/introducing-the-colorhug-open-source-colorimeter/ So if like me you've been longing for accurate colors on your screens but didn't want to buy an overprice proprietary device that didn't even have free drivers for your OS of choice, then it is the time to step up. Thanks. Fred ps: I am not involved in the project at all, so please direct your questions to Richard directly if you have any. _______________________________________________ SFD-discuss mailing list SFD-discuss@sf-day.org http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss ------- End of Forwarded Message
