Please note - Ndiyo has now officially closed its doors, at least as a legal entity - but we've kept the site alive in case any of the information is useful to others.

Our thanks to all those who helped out and were involved in so many different ways! The Ndiyo legacy lives on in the ultra-thin-client work at its spin-off DisplayLink, at Plugable, at NoPC and elsewhere...

Intro

Executive Summary: There's a lot of detail in the Ndiyo vision, but these twelve brief points will give you the basics.
Why?: What motivated us?
How?: How did we go about it?
Conference presentation outlining the Ndiyo project: This presentation was given in April 2005 at a conference on "Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity". It sets out the goals of the Ndiyo project and summarises the state of the technology at that point. The slides are intended to be accompanied by a verbal narrative, however even in isolation they may be interesting to view.
