Open Media Now launched to boost digital freedom

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Already known for its development of a free Flash player, the Gnash project is now the nucleus of a much larger effort. Called the Open Media Now Foundation (OMNF), the group's goal is to encourage the development "of an open media infrastructure," according its home page. Registered as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization in the United States, the new organization is actively seeking corporate members, although it accepts donations from individuals as well.

NAME

       XOrgFoundation - X.Org Foundation information

SYNOPSIS

       Release 7.0 of X Version 11 is brought to you by the X.Org Foundation, LLC.

DESCRIPTION

       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  Sys-
       tem,  a	comprehensive set of vendor-neutral, system-architecture neutral, network-transparent windowing and user interface standards. Mem-
       bership in the X.Org Foundation is free and open to anyone. The X.Org Foundation hosts a public	CVS  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 consor-
       tium 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 organi-
       zation.	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  Con-
       sortium, Inc. closed its doors and all rights to the X Window System were assigned to The Open Group (then known as the Open Software Foun-
       dation.)
