Okay, looking at last year's abstract it's not all that bad actually. 
Here's one. I've also made an account, so now I just need to create an

Open Hardware for the Open Desktop: The Open Graphics Project
By Lourens Veen, The Open Graphics Project

The goal of the Open Graphics Project is to produce a fully open 
graphics chip and video card. Since its inception in late 2004, the 
project has been steadily working towards this goal, which has resulted 
in the Open Graphics Development Board 1 (OGD1), an FPGA-based 
development board with video outputs and on-board memory. The project's 
other current main activity is the development of the first Open 
Graphics Architecture (OGA1), the hardware design (RTL) for our first 
video chip.

In this presentation I will outline the history and goals of the Open 
Graphics Project, discuss the economic issues of creating actual 
hardware, and provide an in-depth look at OGD1 and OGA1. The 
presentation will conclude with an outlook on the road ahead for the 
OGP.
