X.org - Wiki
The X.Org project provides an open source implementation of the X Window System. The development work is being done in conjunction with the freedesktop.org community. The X.Org Foundation is the educational non-profit corporation whose Board serves this effort, and whose Members lead this work. The latest release of the full X.Org stack is X11R7.7, though many individual X.Org modules have had new versions released since then - see the xorg-announce archives for details of those releases. The next full stack release will be X11R7.8. Information about all releases is available.

XQuartz Intro ¶ The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the ​X.org X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple has shipped with OS X since version 10.5. Latest Releases ¶ Mavericks users, please use 2.7.5 or later. Stable: 2.7.5 - 2013.11.10 Development: 2.7.6 rc1 - 2014.04.09 Support ¶ There are three ways to get support for XQuartz. OS X Software/Security Updates and XQuartz (Leopard Only) ¶ OS X Software Updates have included some of the work done by this project, but for various reasons, Apple cannot ship the latest and greatest version offered by this site.

Call for Proposals - Europe 2015 - Write the Docs Call for Proposals We are accepting proposals for our 2015 conference, which is happening on August 31 - September 1, 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic. The deadline for submitting your proposal is Midnight CET on June 15. Conference Goals Write the Docs is an event for anyone who cares about documentation and wants to gather and learn from like-minded people, no matter their personal or professional background. Come be a part of this fantastic multi-disciplinary gathering of documentation artisans. Topic Ideas Although the general focus of Write the Docs is on documentation, there's a strong emphasis on the software industry. We encourage all levels to submit a talk. Some of our favorite talks are ones that make people see the world in a new way. We love talks that deliver hard-earned knowledge based on real-world experience and research. We believe that tech writing and documentation don't always get the respect and consideration they deserve. Presentation format Speaker Benefits and Logistics

X Window System A historical example of graphical user interface and applications common to the MIT X Consortium's distribution running under the twm window manager: X Terminal, Xbiff, xload and a graphical manual page browser A modern example of a graphical user interface using X11 and KDE. In computing, the X Window System (X11, X, and sometimes informally X-Windows) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on UNIX-like operating systems. X originated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1984. The protocol version has been X11 since September 1987. The X.Org Foundation leads the X project, with the current reference implementation, X.Org Server, available as free and open source software under the MIT License and similar permissive licenses.[1] Purpose and abilities[edit] X is an architecture-independent system for remote graphical user interfaces and input device capabilities. Software architecture[edit] Practical examples of remote clients include: Principles[edit]

TeX Users Group (TUG) home page Tmux Window Managers for X: Metacity License: GPL Activity Rating: High Metacity is a lightweight window manager written by Havoc Pennington from Red Hat. The first version was 2.3, which was released in 2001. It is implemented with the GTK+ 2.x toolkit, and so integrates well with the GNOME 2.x platform. Instead of adding numerous features, Metacity attempts to use good defaults. Here are some screenshots of Metacity: From trollet@skynet.be, added in April 2003: This 1600x1200 screenshot (358k) is from an Ultra 10 running Solaris.

Purpose and abilities[edit] X is an architecture-independent system for remote graphical user interfaces and input device capabilities. In its standard distribution it is a complete, albeit simple, display and interface solution which delivers a standard toolkit and protocol stack for building graphical user interfaces on most Unix-like operating systems and OpenVMS, and has been ported to many other contemporary general purpose operating systems.
