 We are excited with the progress that theOpenPOWERFoundation member companies have made since our public launch in San Francisco back in April. Members can now request early access to theTyanreference board shown below by emailing[Bernice Tsai](mailto:bernice.tsai@mic.com.tw)atTyan. This is a single socket, ATX form factor, Power8 Motherboard that can members can bring up an[DebianLinux Distribution](https://wiki.debian.org/ppc64el) (Little Endian) to start innovating with. We look forward to seeing the great ideas that will be generated by working together!
