- The X Consortium is 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 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.
-
- 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 Sys-
- tem were assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc. on January
- 1, 1994.
-
- The X Consortium is financially self-supporting through
- membership fees. There are no license fees associated
- with the use of X Window System standards and code devel-
- oped by the X Consortium. Membership in the X Consortium
- is open to any organization willing to execute a member-
- ship agreement.
-
- The X Consortium is a highly participative body. Members
- are encouraged to actively cooperate with the staff and
- other members in the design and review of proposed speci-
- fications, and in the design, coding and testing of sample
- implementations of those specifications.
-
- The X Consortium accomplishes most of its work using elec-
- tronic mail over the Internet, with individual mailing
- lists for working groups. Internet electronic mail con-
- nectivity should be viewed as a requirement for useful
- participation in X Consortium activities. Meetings are
- held as necessary, often in conjunction with industry con-
- ferences and trade shows.
