X.Org Project Has Five New Summer Projects

“Back in March we talked about the possible X.Org projects this
year during Google’s Summer of Code, for which X.Org is a veteran
participant (in the past items like the ATI R300 Gallium3D driver
and generic GPU video decoding have been tackled), but the list of
accepted projects for this summer have now been announced.
Gallium3D H.264 video decoding, an OpenGL 3.2 state tracker, and
porting of the DRM code to GNU/Hurd were among the talked about
possibilities, but none of those will be addressed as part of GSoC
2010.

“Instead, being worked on this summer within the X.Org project
thanks to Google is improving input support for XCB, a Cairo state
tracker for Gallium3D, creating a fully plug-and-play USB
multi-seat solution using upstream software components, KMS support
for the Permedia 3/4 graphics cards, and improving the GLSL
compiler back-end for the ATI R300 driver.”
