XDC2015 Toronto is officially getting underway this morning as the annual conference about all things Linux graphics, input, Wayland, Mesa, and DRM!

Today's talks focus on atomic mode-setting, input, and the X.Org board meeting. Tomorrow is about graphics driver updates, the state of the X.Org Foundation, and other discussions. Friday's talks are then aimed at performance testing and BSD/Solaris operating system graphics.


As explained already, I sadly will not be attending in person to provide live coverage due to the large number of those blocking ads, etc, that have adversely affected the budget for Phoronix.com. But I will be working on coverage over the next three days via slides, etc. It also appears that they will be filming at least some of the presentations; they have a video release form on the Wiki but so far I've seen no other details about their A/V plans.

The list of talks can be found via the X.Org Wiki. Stay tuned for more details over the rest of the week.
