We've had a group (including representatives from LSB, Mesa, Metro
Link, NVIDIA, PTC, Precision Insight, SGI, XFree86, and Xi Graphics)
working on a proposal for standardizing X11 OpenGL/Mesa ABI and SDK
issues on Linux. The purpose is to allow applications to build against
any implementation following this standard and the resulting binaries to
run against any other implementation; this interoperability will be
increasingly important as the amount of 3D activity on Linux grows and
the variety of drivers increases even further.
The "0.9" draft of the proposal can be found at
http://reality.sgi.com/opengl/linux/linuxbase.html
A mailing list has been created for further discussion and
finalization of this proposal. We're unable to follow discussions in all
the forums where this announcement is being made, so if you want to have
an effect, please join this mailing list. We particularly solicit
participation by ISVs writing OpenGL-based applications on Linux, IHVs
writing OpenGL drivers on Linux, and Linux distributions.
To initially subscribe to the list, send a message with body

to 'external-majordomo@corp.sgi.com'.
To participate in the list after you've subscribed, send messages to
'oglbase-discuss@corp.sgi.com'.
