[Open-graphics] HELP: Alpha version of speech for OSCON

[Daniel Rozsnyó]

Some things to fix/discuss..
# 2: put a timeline there & text in bubbles around
# 3: add ideology - free/open docs = independence/freedom
# 4: image loads somewhat slow, use lower resolution..
# 5: add max resolution to dvi (2x2560x1600) & analog (?)
# 5: 100+ user io is not real, the 100pin IDC must have some grounds, 
use the real count & change suffix: "free i/o signals for extension"
# 5: not PCIe but PCI-X
# 6: demo idea: xdpyinfo|head or something that shows you are actually 
running it. Like Steve's keynote with the intel mac :) If the driver 
allows block transfer an uncompressed video could be playable? Or show a 
youtube video, just to show that the card is no different than another.
# 7: inform that minimalistic would not be the current state (pixel only 
access) as it would be in commercial products (like winmodems, 
gdiprinters..)
# 10: not for games but 3D desktop/gui will work

Btw, speeches will be recorded? I'd like to see yours :)

Daniel
