Schedule

If you would like to add a talk or change information regarding your talk, please edit the Ideas section below the schedule or contact MichaelLarabel, and it will be added to the schedule or if anything needs to be re-arranged.

11 September (Sunday; ~14.00+): For anyone arriving into Chicago early, on Sunday at around 2:00PM (and will likely be there for several hours thereafter) there will be several X.Org developers meeting up at Snickers (Google Maps, a fairly traditional and decent American "dive bar". The location is quite ideal (located at 448 N State St and one block away from a Red line CTA train), there's several other bars and restaurants within easy walking distance to go after meeting up, a good selection of alcohol with decent prices, friendly bartenders, and we should have nearly the entire bar to ourselves. Several developers may also end up on there on Saturday. If any questions or more info contact MichaelLarabel.

  • 30-45 minutes, to be scheduled on the 13th or the 14th
• DRM overlay plane API (JesseBarnes)
  • review of new ioctls, platform considerations
• GPGPU (Informal talk? Proposed by MartinPeres)
  • What we can already do, what do we want and what needs to be done
  • Meant as a follow-up of the OpenCL GSoC and the pscnv work

• BoD BoF (X.Org BoardOfDirectors)
• Release Schedules (Volunteer: JeremyHuddleston, Voluntold: KeithPackard, AlanCoopersmith)
  • Rolling drivers into main xserver?
• Wacom BoF (PeterHutterer)
  • Status, where to go from here? (probably not of interest to those not working on wacom)
• LLVM as a requirement for Mesa (IanRomanick, discussion)
  • It's useful for a lot more than generating code for shaders...
• Compiler Stacks (TomStellard)
  • Supporting OpenCL
  • Using LLVM as an IR
  • Better code generation for backends

  • Remaining refactors leading to using GLSL IR to represent ARB_vertex_program / ARB_fragment_program assembly shaders (IanRomanick)
• Codebase of the future! (discussion, JameySharp)
  • X needs to do more in less code. What are our biggest cleanup targets?
  • To kick things off: in xserver, I suggest unifying DDX and DIX as the big goal.
