I didn't see any mention of newly released specs for OGD1, the Open 
Graphics Development board, series 1

http://opengraphics.org/

"The card, called the 'OGD1' for 'Open Graphics Development', is 
intended for small-quantity production to be used by developers 
interested in designing the Verilog code for the FPGA chip on the card, 
and will likely cost about US$1000 per unit. This design, when 
completed, will form the basis for an ASIC version of the board, 
expected to run closer to US$200. OGD developers are hoping that 
GNU/Linux users will be willing to pay the higher price (driven 
primarily by expected small production runs) in order to have a 
fully-specified 3D graphics card with fully open specifications and 
hardware design."
