What Goes On Within AMD's Linux Beta Program?

[ Thanks to Michael Larabel for this link. ]

"AMD's Linux Beta program allows the NDA-holding participants to have early access to the Linux graphics driver beta packages prior to their general availability. More on AMD's Linux release cycle and philosophy can be found in The Truth About ATI/AMD & Linux. This article is getting old, but it remains largely accurate with regards to their testing process, the release train, and release timing. A majority of what goes on with this private beta list relates to the distribution-specific packaging scripts and getting them ready for the next release. While the beta releases are closed to the general public, the packaging scripts are in fact freely available at anytime."
