It looks like Santa came early this year.

KernelLabs sponsored me for a Kinect sensor device unit so I can experiment writing a Linux kernel driver for it.

So in the next weeks I'll be working on a gspca driver for this device. For now the code is going to be hosted in the gspca_kinect repository, as an out of kernel module, this will ease compile/test cycle; if it comes out that changes are needed to gspca itself, then I'll decide whether hosting these changes as patches, or switching to a kernel clone repository; suggestions will be welcome. The driver is working already, but currently you can just use the sensor as a normal WebCam.
