Open Source Desktop Technology Formal It is important to note that the work of freedesktop.org is to ensure that applications and infrastructure can be shared between projects, and to enable this sharing in a way that end users do not know or care what environment these applications may be "native" to. The Freedesktop.org X server and the XFree86 X server along with all base protocol libraries are MIT licensed, Commercial vendors of X technology may have additional restrictive licenses placed on their implementations as allowed by the MIT license. Freedesktop.org was in fact founded originally to foster the discussions between the Gnome and KDE desktop projects to extend the ICCCM in ways required for more modern environments. freedesktop.org /~jg/roadmap.html   (10174 words)

freedesktop.org - Home freedesktop.org is not a formal standards organization, though some see a need for one that covers some of the areas we are working on. Unlike a standards organization, freedesktop.org is a "collaboration zone" where ideas and code are tossed around, and de facto specifications are encouraged. freedesktop.org is open source/ open discussion software projects working on interoperability and shared technology for X Window System desktops. www.freedesktop.org   (316 words)

LWN: KDE and FreeDesktop.org FreeDesktop.org always raises a little controversy in conferences - any group trying to integrate some of the most competitive projects in the free software community is bound to do that - and this year's KDE World Summit, aKademy, was no exception. Daniel Stone, freedesktop.org's release manager, gave a well-received presentation on the project to KDE developers, covering both the future of the project, and where he sees KDE fitting in. Aaron firmly believes that freedesktop.org can provide a politically neutral ground upon which developers can cooperatively develop a platform, one which can then compete with proprietary software produced by companies that have these same kinds of processes internally. lwn.net /Articles/99279   (1398 words)

The GNOME Journal: Opinion: All Roads Lead to Freedesktop.org Freedesktop.org will solve these problems, providing one stop shop for standards that developers can utilize, provide an arena to propose new desktop technologies for standardization, and finally create a layer that applications can coexist in any desktop the user wants to use. Freedesktop.org is an umbrella project that hosts desktop technologies that desktops can choose to standardized on. Freedesktop.org hosts projects like the Xorg X server, HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer), and various other projects that deal with infrastructure pieces. gnomejournal.org /article/9/opinion-all-roads-lead-to-freedesktoporg   (477 words)

Keeping FreeDesktop.org working www.kdedevelopers.org There is a responsibility on all of us working under FreeDesktop.org to reach to others who could be affected by our work, to take note of their requirements, to acknowledge their concerns and then to work together really hard to address all that and make things work for everyone. Any initiative in FreeDesktop.org aimed to create a formal defintion of a base platform should be very, very careful to limit itself to technology and standards that are truly established and widely adopted and stay far away from any controversy. We have established that FreeDesktop.org is bound to produce some bad technology, it would create tremendous damage to FreeDesktop.org's reputation if such bad technology would end up in the formal definition of a base platform. www.kdedevelopers.org /node/view/982   (1318 words)

XFree86 -- new license Our current plan, is to use the freedesktop.org xlibs for the client side libraries. For the clients, utilities, X server, and other bits, we have not yet made a 100% solid decision, however a couple of alternatives are being explored. Branden Robinson of the Debian project has put together a list of license related issues contained in XFree86's source tree, and efforts are underway to remove code which is considered to be non-open source, or under too restrictive of license terms. lists.freedesktop.org /pipermail/x-packagers/2004-February/000004.html   (381 words)

Freedesktop.org vs. the KDE platform www.kdedevelopers.org While I see reasons why freedesktop.org is necessary (integrations with platforms like Wine and Java, legacy apps and everything else that is not available for KDE yet), a free desktop is not the ultimate goal for me. A free, well-integrated, high-level platform is the goal. As long as both projects adhere to agreed upon standards, via forums like freedesktop.org, every other similarity should cease there. The short summary is that Gnome and KDE are just two flavours of the free desktop(.org) that are technically too different to be merged, but work toward a common higher goal and should thus share as much components and standards as possible. www.kdedevelopers.org /node/view/185   (1400 words)

ProposedUTF8SupportForI18N < Codev < TWiki Project UTF-8 is an initiative by Freedesktop.org to promote the use of UTF-8 in FreeSoftware - they've linked to this page from their page on software not supporting UTF-8. Now that Perl 5.8.5 and higher are out, it would be best to require the latest 5.8.x for phase 2 or later since they have numerous Unicode bug fixes, but Phase 1 will work with any Perl version including 5.8.0. Here are some instructions on I18N setup for Chinese speakers in Taiwan - this is using a UTF-8 locale, like NathanOllerenshaw in Japan. twiki.org /cgi-bin/view/Codev.ProposedUTF8SupportForI18N   (2221 words)

Luddite Tendencies But since I got back from Australia, I've felt at least somewhat reinvigorated - been hacking around with freedesktop.org stuff, especially jhbuild. It's mostly fairly innocuous stuff, but the sense of achievement from actually finishing things and being able to send patches is quite rewarding. I haven't felt capable of achieving anything and so recently I've not even been trying, just playing around and leaving about a million things started but useless. blog.clearairturbulence.org   (3030 words)
