It was formed in 1993 as the successor to the MIT X Consortium. +The purpose of the X Consortium was 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. +.PP +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. +X Consortium, Inc. closed its doors on December 31, 1996. All rights to the +X Window System have been assigned to the Open Software Foundation. +.PP +The X Consortium was financially self-supporting through membership fees. +There are no license fees associated with the use of X Window System standards +and code developed by the X Consortium. Membership in the X Consortium was +open to any organization willing to execute a membership agreement. +.PP +The X Consortium was a highly participative body. Members were encouraged to +actively cooperate with the staff and other members in the design and review +of proposed specifications, and in the design, coding and testing of sample +implementations of those specifications. +.PP +The X Consortium accomplished most of its work using electronic mail over the +Internet, with individual mailing lists for working groups. Internet +electronic mail connectivity was viewed as a requirement for useful +participation in X Consortium activities. Meetings were held as necessary, +often in conjunction with industry conferences and trade shows. +.SH STAFF +.nf +President: +Bob Scheifler + +Office Manager: +Janet O'Halloran + +Director of Marketing: +Paul Lavallee + +Director of Engineering: +Jim Fournier + +Manager, X Window System: +Matt Landau, emeritus + +Technical Director, X Window System: +Ralph Swick + +Technical Staff, X Window System: + +Donna Converse, emeritus +Stephen Gildea, emeritus +Kaleb Keithley +Arnaud Le Hors +Ralph Mor, emeritus +Ray Tice +Dave Wiggins, emeritus + +Managers, CDE Development: +Giora Guth +Peter Bohnert, emeritus + +Manager, CDE Quality Engineering: +David Brooks + +CDE Architects: +Kevin Samborn +Daniel Dardailler, emeritus + +Technical Staff, CDE Development: + +Art Barstow +Pascale Dardailler +David Kaelbling +Mitch Greess +Robert Seacord + +Technical Staff, CDE Quality Engineering: + +Chris Burleson +Tom Cavin +Sami Mohammed +Mark Schuldenfrei + +Manager, Systems Administration: +Kevin Ethier + +Technical Staff, Systems Administration: +Mike Donati +Amy Rich, emeritus +Anne Salemme +.fi + +.SH "BOARD OF DIRECTORS" +The X Consortium's activities and affairs were managed under the direction and +oversight of a Board of Directors, elected annually by the Members.
