Tom, I work in a high confidentiality style environment so I understand what you are saying. I understand that you guys are working through getting internal devs working with external open source devs. I also understand there's alot of protocols that have to be created in that process. On that note I really appreciate you asking about openSUSE. Thanks for that. Just be aware in return that we are fighting the good fight for you guys in the public eye, on your behalf, (AMD) and that's where really all this begins where we are concerned. And in past/present cases spending our own money to do it. We don't have any interest in squeezing confidential information from sources. We also support the principle of AMD's intellectual properties. We don't think anybody owns that property except for AMD. Obviously we believe that if for no other reason than we run fglrx on AMD hardware at technical conferences. Our interest also, *is* however, in promotion of AMD hardware running openSUSE in front of interested technical spectators. Amdgpu-pro is the future from what we have seen. Therefore we do have questions about it. Just take those inquiries in the spirit in which they were intended; which is to say, hold them harmless. --Hal On 06/19/2016 08:05 PM, StDenis, Tom wrote: > Hi Hal, > > > Again, please don't ask about pro-stack schedules (also I don't know > them off hand anyways).
