Harald Koenig (koenig@nova.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de). The amount given
was DM680 and has been used to fund hardware upgrades so that Harald could
add Trio 64 support for XFree86 3.1.1.
On behalf of the Linux community, I would like to extend a very warm
thank-you to those who have donated money to the Development Fund. The
first results of the Development Fund has allowed Harald Koenig to
incorporate support for the Trio 64 graphics chipset in Xfree86's 3.1.1
X11 servers.
I would also like to thank InfoMagic for their very generous contribution
to the Fund. Their generosity will enable the development of further
projects that will benefit the entire Linux community.
Another special thank-you goes to iiNet Technologies - the Internet provider
for Linux International in Australia - who have kindly paid for all network
charges associated with LI's internet connection. The value of which has
totalled approximately AUD$200.
