Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit We've had a group (including representatives from LSB, Mesa, Metro Link, NVIDIA, PTC, Precision Insight, SGI, XFree86, and Xi Graphics) working on a proposal for standardizing X11 OpenGL/Mesa ABI and SDK issues on Linux. The purpose is to allow applications to build against any implementation following this standard and the resulting binaries to run against any other implementation; this interoperability will be increasingly important as the amount of 3D activity on Linux grows and the variety of drivers increases even further. The "0.9" draft of the proposal can be found at http://reality.sgi.com/opengl/linux/linuxbase.html A mailing list has been created for further discussion and finalization of this proposal. We're unable to follow discussions in all the forums where this announcement is being made, so if you want to have an effect, please join this mailing list. We particularly solicit participation by ISVs writing OpenGL-based applications on Linux, IHVs writing OpenGL drivers on Linux, and Linux distributions. To initially subscribe to the list, send a message with body subscribe oglbase-discuss to 'external-majordomo@corp.sgi.com'. To participate in the list after you've subscribed, send messages to 'oglbase-discuss@corp.sgi.com'.
