.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
Releases 6.0 through 6.3 of X Version 11 were brought to you by the
|
||||
X Consortium, Inc.
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The X Consortium was an independent, not-for-profit Delaware membership
|
||||
corporation. It was formed in 1993 as the successor to the MIT X Consortium.
|
||||
The purpose of the X Consortium was to foster the development, evolution, and
|
||||
maintenance of the X Window System, a comprehensive set of vendor-neutral,
|
||||
system-architecture neutral, network-transparent windowing and user interface
|
||||
standards.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts
|
||||
Institute of Technology. In 1988, MIT formed a member-funded consortium to
|
||||
provide the technical and administrative leadership necessary to support
|
||||
further development of the X Window System. In 1992, MIT and the membership
|
||||
decided it was in their best interests to move the consortium out of MIT and
|
||||
create an independent, stand-alone organization. All rights to the
|
||||
X Window System were assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc. on January 1, 1994.
|
||||
X Consortium, Inc. closed its doors on December 31, 1996. All rights to the
|
||||
X Window System have been assigned to the Open Software Foundation.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The X Consortium was financially self-supporting through membership fees.
|
||||
There are no license fees associated with the use of X Window System standards
|
||||
and code developed by the X Consortium. Membership in the X Consortium was
|
||||
open to any organization willing to execute a membership agreement.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The X Consortium was a highly participative body. Members were encouraged to
|
||||
actively cooperate with the staff and other members in the design and review
|
||||
of proposed specifications, and in the design, coding and testing of sample
|
||||
implementations of those specifications.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The X Consortium accomplished most of its work using electronic mail over the
|
||||
Internet, with individual mailing lists for working groups. Internet
|
||||
electronic mail connectivity was viewed as a requirement for useful
|
||||
participation in X Consortium activities. Meetings were held as necessary,
|
||||
often in conjunction with industry conferences and trade shows.
