[i18n] MIPS port / G-dium project

[Anne NICOLAS]

Hi

As some of you may already know, Mandriva has been actively working on a
MIPS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture) port of
distribution. This is done now and G-dium is the first concrete project
to use it through "Mandriva G-Linux". Therefore we will propose soon on
build platform and public repositories a third official architecture,
MIPS. As a privileged partner, EMTEC proposes to Mandriva community some
interesting conditions for those who would like to be involved in this
new architecture. Below is the official announcement from EMTEC team.

Cheers

====================================

EMTEC, manufacturer of innovative Gdium Liberty 1000, announces the "One
Laptop Per Hacker Program" and opens its development process to the
Mandriva community.

Booting on a USB key (the G-Key), Gdium Liberty 1000 runs Mandriva
G-Linux, a Gnu/Linux edition optimized for MIPS processors with a
simplified human interface, and an online/offline integration framework.
G-Linux is the result of a close collaboration between EMTEC and the
Mandriva Team.

We invite Developers, Contributors, User Interface Designers, Graphical
Artists, Sound Designers, Project Leaders, Translators, Hardware
Tinkerers and in general any Free Software Minded Innovators to join the
"One Laptop Per Hacker" program (OLPH). Be among the first to get your
hands on a Gdium Liberty 1000 at a low-cost, early-access price.

Share knowledge and get fast access to the Core Gdium Developer Team,
and the members of the Gdium Foundation.

You can join the "OLPH" program either as a "friend", in which case you
will get free access to the Gdium.com portal, to the Gdium Bug Tracker,
Feature Forum, Newsletter, …

Or you can submit a project. If you are selected, and agree to the OLPH
charter, you will be able to acquire for 250€ (VAT included) an
"early-release, signed-edition" of the Gdium with two G-keys, one loaded
with the standard environment, and one loaded with the full developer kit.

You can get all the details of the program by visiting
