The X.Org Developers Conference kicked off a short time ago at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA. But even if you are not at the event, there is a livestream.

XDC2017 is being hosted by Google and for those of you not there in person, the livestream at least so far has been featuring great audio and video quality. Due to the ever-tightening ad margins and ad-block users, this year I am again not at XDC or any other conferences for that matter. But I'll be monitoring the streams and slides and providing recaps anyhow.

Embedded below is today's livestream video of the event:


Talks today include an update on the NVIDIA effort for a new device memory allocation API, the Ion buffer allocation framework, HDR support, Intel CI support, and GPU performance counters. The complete schedule can be found here.
