XDC2011 Chicago Kicks Off Tomorrow
The 2011 X.Org Developers' Conference is set to begin tomorrow morning in Chicago, Illinois, United States. This three-day event will focus on what's coming down the pipe for the X.Org Server, Mesa, the Linux kernel DRM, and related areas of open-source graphics and input.
The line-up for Monday is mostly about the X.Org Server in general and input related fun. Currently the agenda is:
- X.Org Foundation Session
- X.org Release Schedules Discussion
- The Code-base Of The Future
- XKB 1.1
- Multi-Touch BoF / Wacom BoF
- Driver Support BoF
On Tuesday the discussions are more graphics related. Tuesday on the schedulke there is:
- Compiler Stacks
- Nouveau
- TimeGraph / GPU Scheduling
- LLVM In Mesa
- Graphics Memory Management
- Contributing To X.Org & Open-Source Panel Discussion
Tuesday afternoon there is also free beer to X.Org attendees, sponsored by Phoronix Media. I'm not too pleased with the beer selection that the catering company has offered, but there's a few "drinkable" options. The last session of the day is the Q&A panel discussion where any interested developers in the Chicago area are welcome to attend if they're possibly wanting to contribute to upstream open-source projects.
On Wednesday, the last day of this conference, there is:
- DRM Overlay Plane
- OpenGL 3.0
- GPGPU
- Auto Regression Analysis
- GPU Kernel & User-Space Border
There's more information on the X.Org Wiki.
Today there's an X.Org Developers meet-up at a local bar (Snickers) in downtown Chicago beginning at 2:00PM.
I'll be recording videos for Phoronix, posting interesting bits of information on Phoronix, and Tweeting the rest. On Thursday it's then off to Munich for Oktoberfest 2011 and the Phoronix meet-ups.
