Back at the Linux Foundation Austin Summit, VIA had announced plans to develop a new open-source initiative in a similar fashion what AMD has been doing. However, in the weeks following that they haven’t done much for the open-source community. As was highlighted in VIA’s Open-Source Efforts A Bluff?, their Linux website just contains two binary drivers right now and not much of anything else — not even bug tracking software or a mailing list. This has upset some, but fortunately VIA has stepped up to the plate and shown they are actually doing more than a media blitz.
