A short news update regarding the Freescale SNDF Europe event: The list of the first 40 PPC developers who will join the SNDF Europe event and recieve complete Open Desktop Workstations (based on the Pegasos2), has now been sent to Freescale. Among those are AmigaZeux members as well as a number of DemoScene Teams.
A list of the remaining 60 will be sent next week.
At 22-Aug-2004, Genesi made the following invitation public:
We would like to invite all interested PowerPC Developers to Smart Networks Developer Forum in Frankfurt on 30 September. You can attend the Tech Show in the morning and attend Workshops. In the afternoon we will have some special PegasosPPC oriented presentations, including a series of workshops on AltiVec. Lunch is included and developers who have been pre-approved and attend will be given an Open Desktop Workstation compliments of Freescale and Genesi. In exchange, developers are ask to file a monthly report on what they are doing with the machine - only basic guidelines for development will be given.
Please contact us if you are interested in developing for the platform and attending PegasosPPC Day at SNDF Europe.
(morphos-news.de, morphzone.org)
Any developer, interested in developing for any PPC OS platform, working with any project, seemed to be welcome to apply to these generous terms (look here, and here). Now the list of the first 40 people has been processed and sent to Freescale:
We submitted the list of 40 developers to Freescale today who will be hosted on 30 September at SNDF Europe in Frankfurt. Thanks to all of you who responded. We will be getting an information page up about the day's activities soon.
Next week, we will also be submitting an additional list of 60 developers who will also receive complete machines. We are very happy to announce that the AmigaZeux members will be included in this group, as well as a number of DemoScene Teams.
A big thanks to Freescale for their support on this developer program. In addition to the 100 machines going to developers in September, 75 more are being used to support the initial PegasosPPC pilot projects.

Freescale provides complete ODW machines to 100 PPC developers for free! : Comment 76 of 103 | ANN.lu |

>>I felt sorry for Freescale.

>Well, that's very common... First make accusation and then refuse to tell
>what the accusation is based on...
But for christ sake, simply stating that you feel sorry for someone is not making an accusation, just a reflection on the issue at hand. Most people in here, especially Fabio, already do know my reasons and I really don't see the point in going through all that again.
Why don't you just appreciate the fact that unlike Fabio, I'm trying to avoid another one of those long threads of mudslinging? You don't think that if I granted your wish to tell you my reasons would create another of those 500+ posting threads? I'm quite certain that it would, hence why I refrain myself from doing so.
I think that people need start start accepting that we have different opinions if we are to get along in here. Expecting that people who don't have the same opinions as yourself to simply shut up is not realistic. Everyone has to be able to speak their mind and those who keep questioning other people's opinions are the real trouble makers. I can understand when someone questions claims and accusations, but if someone simply states their reflection or opinion about something, it's better to simply leave it be if you don't want to have another flame fest.
Is the above something we all can agree to? |
