libraries 12/15/2003 08:09 AM
Editor's note: Bob Kerr has tackled an important task: Making open source software available through local libraries. He's been extremely successful at doing it. But that's not all. He has also written a Howto on the subject so that others can follow his lead. We invited Bob to do a commentary on the subject for NewsForge, and he has graciously accepted. If you are looking for a way to help spread open source software to those still on the wrong side of the digital divide, Bob writes with intimate knowledge of one way you can do just that.

First-ever public demo of an open-source
PC on Monday 12/11/2003 05:01 PM
The OpenCores movement, which produces open-source-licensed "code" for producing chips using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has built a complete RISC computer that runs Linux using open source libraries to describe the hardware characteristics. This means that your open source operating system can now run on open source microprocessors. Monday will mark the first-ever public demonstration of the system.

On Monday, December 15, at 7pm, OpenCores developer Damjan Lampret will give the first public demonstration of an all-Open Source System-On-Chip (SoC) at the Freedom Technology Center in Mountain View, California, USA. The new OpenCores System-On-Chip, developed and manufactured by Flextronics Semiconductor, runs Linux, uClinux, or eCos. The SoC is exclusively built with freely licensed OpenCores IP cores. The chip includes the OpenRISC OR1200 32-bit processor, a Memory Controller for SDRAM/FLASH/SRAM, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, 32-bit, 33/66MHz PCI support, and a 16550 UART.

CUWiN Goes Public with Open-Source Mesh

The Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) released the fruit of their efforts at the end of the week: The project is an open-source effort to provide mesh networking with no center. The system is self configuring among nodes which need no non-volatile or permanent storage. To set up a CUWiN network, you burn a CD with the 0.5.5 software later this week and use it to boot a computer with a support wireless card. The system finds nearby nodes, creates tables, and establishes itself as part of the network. The software is free and open source. The full press release is after the jump....
