OT: Fully free colorimeter!

Nov. 15, 2011

      Hi!

A slightly off season off topic post, but since it's addressing one of 
my itches I thought I would share.

Richard Hughes has just launched a fully free (as in freedom) 
colorimeter project where both the hardware schematics, the firmware and 
the software will be released under a free license. He is looking for 
pre-orders (50) and ships worldwide. Initial orders will get a 20% 
discount making the final price at 48 GBP + shipping and packing. 
Discount assume you'll be contributing to the project by helping out 
testing the hardware and software and it might be a bit more complicated 
than just plug-and-play.

Full announcement here:

So if like me you've been longing for accurate colors on your screens 
but didn't want to buy an overprice proprietary device that didn't even 
have free drivers for your OS of choice, then it is the time to step up.

Thanks.

Fred
ps: I am not involved in the project at all, so please direct your 
questions to Richard directly if you have any.
