## NAME

X.Org, XProjectTeam - X.Org Group information

## SYNOPSIS

Release 6.5 and 6.6 of X Version 11 was brought to you by The X.Org Group. Release 6.4 of X Version 11 was brought to you by The X Project Team.

## DESCRIPTION

The Open Group's X Project Team was created as the successor  to the X Consortium, Inc., after the X Consortium was merged into The Open Group.  The X.Org Group (hereinafter called "X.Org") was created as the successor  to The X Project Team after the The Open Group ceased operating The X Project Team. The purpose of X.Org is to foster development, evolution, and  maintenance of the X Window System.  X.Org operates under the corporate umbrella of The Open Group.

The X Consortium was an independent, not-for-profit Delaware membership corporation.  It was formed in 1993 as the successor to the MIT X  Consortium.

The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  In 1988, MIT formed a member-funded consortium  to provide the technical and administrative leadership necessary to  support further development of the X Window System.  In 1992, MIT and  the membership decided it was in their best interests to move the  consortium out of MIT and create an independent, stand-alone organization.   All rights to the X Window System were assigned by MIT to X Consortium,  Inc. on January 1, 1994.  X Consortium, Inc. closed its doors on December  31, 1996.  All rights to the X Window System have been assigned to The  Open Group, for the benefit of the members of X.Org.
