Woah, What?!?!
As you might have been aware, as a result of Kristian’s ‘The Future of Compiz’ discussion, a new council including Danny, Dennis, Guillaume, Krisitan and myself has been created. We have decided to make some very important code and project related changes. All of these will be for the better, however expect some very invasive changes over the next few months.
Compiz Fusion -> Compiz
The Phoronix headline was probably a little confusing, Compiz Fusion as a project is not being dropped, we’re here to stay, however considering that the same two leaders are in charge of both Compiz and Compiz Fusion, we have decided to merge the two projects. Some of you might think ‘hey waitaminute, merge with what?’. The truth is that strictly speaking, Compiz Fusion and Compiz we’re meant to be separate as a condition of the Beryl-Compiz merge. Now (after almost two years) we have reached the point where we are completing this merge. In essense, the main changes as a result of this are:
* Move some plugins out of core (specifically the superflous ones like Cube/Rotate, Water, Wobblye etc) into our own plugin packs
* Change all the graphics
* In all the code / translations sed - e s/Compiz\ Fusion/Compiz/

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
