	Schism hits key open-source group \| Tech News on ZDNet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In an interview, Packard didn't comment on specific actions but indicated that he was trying to make it easier for interested and qualified programmers to contribute to the XFree86 project.
		Packard also is forming a group of people with "vested interests" to discuss his concerns about XFree86 but has refused to disclose those concerns, the group said.
		But Packard abused his privileges as one of the handful of people authorized to "commit" changes to the XFree86 code base, said XFree86 project leader David Dawes in remarks to the new forum mailing list.

		Keith Packard - I'm Keith Packard, one of the original staff members of the MIT X Consortium and author of many X related standards and much of the X server source code.
		Keith Packard - That's actually a difficult question to answer as there is no canonical version of X. I'm currently working with Freedesktop.org which has development versions for an X server and the major X libraries available in CVS, but hasn't made any kind of release.
		Keith Packard - There is no 'X Consortium' at this point; that organization folded in 1996 and transferred the X trademarks and copyrights to the X source code to The Open Group.

	Keith Packard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Packard is responsible for many X extensions and technical papers on X. He has been heavily involved in the development of X since the late 1980s, at the MIT X Consortium, XFree86 and presently with the X.org Foundation.
		After being expelled from XFree86 after disagreements (which led to the formation of the successful X.Org Server fork), he is now project lead on the experimental freedesktop.org Xserver and on the official sample implementation of X. Contents
		Packard gained a BA in mathematics from Reed College, Oregon in 1986.

	X Window System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jim Fulton joined in January 1988 and Keith Packard in March 1988 as senior developers, with Jim focusing on Xlib, fonts, window managers, and utilities and Keith reimplementing the server.
		In March 2003, Keith Packard, who had joined XFree86 after the end of the original MIT X Consortium, was expelled with considerable ill-feeling [18] [19] [20].
		Gettys and Packard had taken the last version of XFree86 under the old license and, by making a point of an open development model and retaining GPL compatibility, brought many of the old XFree86 developers on board [28].

		In March, long-term contributor Keith Packard was ejected with considerable ill-feeling [1] [1] [1].
		Gettys, Packard and several others began discussing in detail what was needed for the effective governance of X with open development.
		Finally, in an echo of the X11R6.4 licensing dispute, XFree86 released version 4.4 in February 2004 under a more restricted license which many projects relying on X found unacceptable [1], particularly as it was held to be incompatible with the GNU General Public License.

	XWin
		The XWin project, started by Keith Packard in 2003, was created in order to provide forums for collaborative and cooperative discussion between X developers, X end users, and potential developers.
		Due to misleading media reports from news sites such as Slashdot and others, this project was incorrectly presented to the public as a fork of the XFree86 source code.
		Keith Packard began a new development branch of the X Window System under the name Xserver in cooperation with Freedesktop.

	X.Org Wiki - ModularizationProposal
		The modularization work that Keith did was to split the sources up so that no distribution would have to break one of his packages apart in order to build their distribution -- i.e., no modules would need to be split across package boundaries.
		Keith had to get a change made to 'libtool' (v1.5) so that the correct "so" versions could be specified.
		Keith did less work with the xapps, since he doesn't use many of them.

	[forum] Keith Packard issue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Compared to the development speed of projects like the Linux kernel or KDE, XFree86 lags behind ages and is not the most responsive at all.
		Keith has been one outstanding example with big ties to the community and acknowledgement for the problems that everyone suffers when it comes to XFree86 and tried to help with innovative ideas that just have to be solved on that layer of the OS (whatever Unix you use).
		My best read today was that people are thinking about releasing their own versions of graphics drivers because the CVS access to XFree86 is restricted to just about 15 people.

		Most of the work there was done by Adam Jackson, but most of the modesetting work needed there was done by yours truly (part of it was also done by Adam, but that move was driven by redhat corporate profiling/short term views versus bedroom hacker/slightly longer term views, and this is another story altogether).
