I will be sad to see you stop maintaining gspca, but I can understand that after 4 years you want a change. Thanks for the great job you've done on gspca! So is there nothing we can do to change your mind? > Is anybody interested in maintaining the gspca stuff? I can take over gspca maintenance if you want me to. So if you're really going to stop maintaining gspca, may I suggest that you start playing with arm. The trimslice, which I've just bought myself :) I should get mine on Monday. It is a really nice machine for development (enough cpu power and ram to compile on the machine which is a lot easier then cross compilation). You can find the trimslice here: http://trimslice.com/web/ I'm going to work on getting Fedora to support the trimslice as good as possible. One interesting area where your hardware talents may be very useful is getting FOSS support for the NVidia Tegra 2 video core on the trimslice. There are already some people working on an opensource (kms) driver for it but I'm sure they could use some help. Regards, Hans
