A follow-up to our article published last week about the bluetooth bounty.
Since the bluetooth bounty has been topped up to over a thousand dollars ($1066.61) by the other failed bounties, and there hasn't been many contributions, I asked Oliver if he'd consider accepting the current balance (along with the RAM donation he received). Oliver accepted this proposal, but as a compromise, asked that the deadline be extended to Nov. 2008 (he originally set a target of $2000 for the bounty and earlier deadline). The bounty is still open for donations until it's completed.
Some of the Phase 1 target has been completed, and Oliver plans on tackling the L2CAP module which hasn't been started. All of this together, and along with some tweaking of the stack, he plans to have it complete by November 2008.
On a related note, the CUPS port bounty had a deadline of Feb 13th. 2008. This was the second self-proposed (by the developer) deadline. Similarly, the Webkit port missed its deadlines. This is unfortunate, and I would like to apologize on behalf of the developer to the bounty contributors. I've tried to contact Ithamar, but haven't gotten a response for almost a week now. All I can do, is offer a final deadline of March 1st. If the bounty isn't complete by then, the contributors will decide an appropriate fate for its holdings.
