<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The X.Org Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charity
|
|
corporation. It was formed in 2004 as the successor to the X.Org Group at
|
|
The Open Group. The purpose of the X.Org Foundation is 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. Membership
|
|
in the X.Org Foundation is free and open to anyone. The X.Org Foundation
|
|
hosts a public git repository of the source code on freedesktop.org.

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. On
|
|
December 31, 1996 the X Consortium, Inc. closed its doors and all rights
|
|
to the X Window System were assigned to The Open Group (then known as the
|
|
Open Software Foundation).
