Hi,
IBM are doing a contest (for US citizens only) for developing and
porting open source software to Linux PPC.
http://www.linuxonpower.com/
Box Backup is in "Tier 2", which means the prize is a shiny new Apple
Mac, and I get a shiny new iPod mini for "judging" any ports --
apparently regardless of whether anyone submits a port or not. All very
strange.
Annoyingly, Martin appears to be in the UK, so his work on 64bit-ness
can't help him get the prize.
Hopefully this will be a nice bit of publicity for the project. Being
9th in the list makes it quite visible.
