XCONSORTIUM(1)                                     XCONSORTIUM(1)



NAME
     XConsortium - X Consortium information

SYNOPSIS
     Release 6.1 of X Version 11 is brought to you by  X  Consor-
     tium, Inc.

DESCRIPTION
     The X Consortium is an independent, not-for-profit  Delaware
     membership  corporation.   It was formed in 1993 as the suc-
     cessor to the MIT X Consortium.  The purpose of the  X  Con-
     sortium is to foster the development, evolution, and mainte-
     nance of  the  X  Window  System,  a  comprehensive  set  of
     vendor-neutral,    system-architecture   neutral,   network-
     transparent windowing and user interface standards.

     The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Mas-
     sachusetts  Institute  of Technology.  In 1988, MIT formed a
     member-funded consortium to provide the technical and admin-
     istrative  leadership  necessary to support further develop-
     ment of the X Window System.  In 1992, MIT and  the  member-
     ship decided it was in their best interests to move the con-
     sortium 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.

     The X  Consortium  is  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 is open to
     any organization willing to execute a membership agreement.

     The X Consortium is a highly  participative  body.   Members
     are  encouraged  to  actively  cooperate  with the staff and
     other members in the design and review of proposed  specifi-
     cations,  and  in  the  design, coding and testing of sample
     implementations of those specifications.

     The X Consortium accomplishes most of its work  using  elec-
     tronic mail over the Internet, with individual mailing lists
     for working groups.  Internet electronic  mail  connectivity
     should  be  viewed as a requirement for useful participation
     in X Consortium activities.  Meetings are held as necessary,
     often  in  conjunction  with  industry conferences and trade
     shows.
