I haven't seen any indication that a full, open-source OpenCL implementation will become available, and it's certainly far too late for that to happen for the 2.8 release.

The only non-proprietary thing I know is Clover, which is the OpenCL implementation for the Gallium3d architecture. Of course, it's very, very far from complete, or even usable. But I'm sure they'd love developers.

And yes, Clover uses Clang as its frontend.
