Re: I need some info on driver development status

[Southwell <vi...@pt...>]

Can someone please tell me what the current position is on IEEE 1394 =
licensing issues as far as they affect the development and use of =
firewire under Linux. I am finding the current licensing situation quite =
confusing and am concerned to know that anyone using the IEEE 1394  =
support will not be landing themselves into a potentially difficult =
legal position..

Thanks=20

  Dear Linux-1394 Zealots,=20
  I will be giving an overview presentation on 1394 and Linux at the =
1394 Developer's Conference in San Jose, June 20-22.  I want to give an =
update on the state of the 1394 driver development, supported protocols, =
and future plans.  This will be a great opportunity to give the activity =
of the the this development group some extra credibility and maybe get =
some more development support.=20

  So, please, everybody who's doing anything, let me know where you're =
at, what you lack, where you're going, and when you might get there with =
your development activity.  I'll share the compilation of what I get =
with the reflector.=20

  Now for the blatant marketing plug.....If you are in the Bay Area on =
June 20-22, maybe at the Fairmont Hotel, and you have $795 to spare to =
learn everything you ever wanted to know about 1394...then come to the =
Developer's Conference!!  Here's the link for more information =
http://www.1394ta.org/Events/DevCon/index.html .  It's well worth it.=20

  Best regards and I expect to hear from each and every one of you...... =
