Are you in for some coding this summer? yellowTAB has today started their first development contest. The price for the first one to develop a fully working ICH AC97 driver, is 300 euros and a free copy of Zeta from yellowTAB. The driver update is sorely needed, as the chipset is the most commonly used one and it only supports playback. As Zeta aims to be a multimedia OS, support for recording will represent a far better experience for many Zeta users. If you feel that you are up to the coding challange, you can find the base sources for the driver in the Haiku (OpenBeOS) CVS repository at SourceForge.net. The winning entry will be donated to the Haiku project under the MIT license allowing all BeOS derivative projects to benefit from the effort, so that the whole OSBOS community will gain from the competition. If the competition becomes a success, yellowTAB will most likely kick off several new competitions in the future. We are looking forward to see the chipset finally fully working under Zeta / BeOS. Update: Dane Scott over at LeBuzz has joined yT in their offer, adding a $75 USD reward plus a copy of TunePrepper, which sells for $79.95 USD. Even more incentive for whoever decides to take on this challenge! |
