    Nouveau fund, how did it go?

    If you remember people has raised over $10'000 to fund the Nouveau project... anyone know how that go? Did they find $10'000 no use at all?

    $10000 is nowhere near enough to pay even a single developer to work full time on reverse engineering and developing drivers for display hardware for a meaningful period.
