| | X Window System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | X was initially conceived at MIT in 1984 as a collaboration between Jim Gettys of Project Athena and Bob Scheifler of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. | | | In January 1988, the X Consortium was formed as a non-profit vendor group, with Scheifler as director and Keith Packard as senior developer, to direct the future development of X in a neutral atmosphere inclusive of commercial and educational interests. | | | Scheifler needed a usable display environment for debugging the Argus system. |

| | Newsbytes News Network: "Father of X Windows" gives sneak preview of release 6 - Bob Scheifler |
| | Scheifler is scheduled to present a talk entitled "The X Consortium: A Status Report." Other speakers will include experts from MIT, Network Computing Devices, AGE Logic, Silicon Graphics, Digital Equipment Corp., Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Ithaca Software, Template Graphics Software and the Open Software Foundation (OSF). | | | In an interview with Newsbytes, though, Bob Scheifler, original creator of the X Windows System, has presented a 1993 "sneak preview" of key features of the upcoming revision, which is slated for public distribution next April. | | | The conference will also encompass a reception at the Boston Computer Museum, to be hosted by the X Consortium, Integrated Computer Solutions, Network Computing Devices, O'Reilly and Associates, and SunSoft. |

| | DACX: 1993 CSUN Conference |
| | Beth and Bob both commented on the fact the X would not be able to assist any application which did its own line rendering or drawing since the commands to do so would not traverse the network. | | | Other pragmatic requirements include potential implementation by the X Consortium, working through this committee and working with Bob Scheifler, and that we want this to be adopted by the X Consortium and become part of the general release. | | | Bob - In terms of X MIT release schedule. |

| | James Gettys: The X Window System is 10 years old today! |
| | One amusing historical note; in 1984 MIT did not have a useable TCP/IP campus network; the most (geographically) widespread network on campus was CHAOSnet, running its own protocols, which is why the reference to a tape. | | | We had W from Paul Asente and Brian Reid of Stanford (Paul had been a summer student at Digital's Western Research Laboratory), but other than some use for graphics, we had not used it much. | | | The large, significant design changes that distinguished X from W included: |

Scheifler, president of the X Consortium. |

| | Of course, the way we did it -- adding proprietary enhancements to the free documentation -- was seen as a problem by folks like Richard Stallman, but it was accepted enthusiastically by Bob Scheifler, the creator of X and the head of the X Consortium. | | | Our first conscious exposure to the philosophy of free software came from the X Window System. | | | This circumstance really illustrated the fundamental split in the open source/free software community very early on. |

| | Sun Stirs Up Open Source Projects |
| | On discussion boards circulating at Opensource.org and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Sun's Jini curator Bob Scheifler said Sun is looking for an existing, commonly used and accepted open source license to use for a re-licensing effort for Jini -- both specifications and code base. | | | "In the relicensing effort that we [Sun] are currently undertaking for Jini technology - specifications and code - our number one requirement is to use an existing, commonly used and accepted open source license," Bob Scheifler, Sun Distinguished Engineer and architect in the Jini Group wrote on a recent bulletin board posting. | | | Because Jini has the potential to make operating systems incidental to the power of networks, some have seen Jini as an attempt to reduce the influence of Windows. |

| | Jini Technology Grants the Ultimate Wish |
| | Under the leadership of Bill Joy and Jim Waldo, Sun was able to pull together some of the best minds in distributed computing into the Jini project. | | | Part of these Sun developers' success has been in approaching the project with strict requirements for object-oriented code and absolute simplicity. | | | The team included Ann Wollrath, the inventor and designer for Java Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI interface), Ken Arnold, the designer of JavaSpaces technology and co-author of the Java Programming Language Book, Bob Scheifler, a principle of the X Consortium and designer of Lookup/Discovery, and other senior engineers from within Sun and the industry. |

| | The Case for Open Source/Closed Standards |
| | There's been some debate recently on the license-discuss list hosted by the OSI on how to release code as open source while still requiring that it be compatible with a test suite that must be distributed as part of the code. | | | The open source definition is not a challenge for corporate lawyers to find the most ambiguous license that fits it, while circumventing the spirit of open source. | | | I'd also like to note that Bob's attempt to try to find the most obnoxous license that still meets the open source definition, while allowing Sun to place rather arbitrary restrictions on redistribution, did not sit well with OSI. |
