Google Tech Talks
February, 7 2008
ABSTRACT
A few years ago, development of the X Window
System was
revitalized by a change in management and the
rise of a
new generation of machines and operating systems.
This
talk is a tour of X, with emphasis on the things
that are
new and the things that are to come: advances in
2D
rendering, use of 3D hardware, high-quality
typography,
revamped input support, client-side migration of
responsibilities, and new support for the
critical layers
of software between the server and the toolkit.
It's the
seventh Year of the Linux Desktop, and the future
has
never looked shinier.
Speaker: Keith Packard, Intel
Keith Packard was employee number three at the
MIT X
Consortium, and has written a substantial portion
of the
open-source X Window System server. He currently
works
for Intel, and is a founding Board Member of the
X.Org
Foundation.
Speaker: Barton C Massey, Portland State
University
Bart Massey is an Associate Professor of
Computer Science
at Portland State University, and Secretary of
the X.Org
Foundation. His current research interests are
in
development and deployment of open hardware and
software
technologies.
