It's spring, and young(ish?) hackers' minds turn to OpenCL. What is the state of things? I haven't the faintest idea, but I thought I'd try to share what I find out. So far, just some links. Details to be filled in later, particularly if you, dear reader, tell them to me.

LLVM based front ends

Rumours/hopes of something working in mesa 8.1?

Some of you may find the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig interesting for your projects.
