Barton Massey, the (outgoing) secretary of the X.Org foundation, has posted a summary of the state of the Foundation in 2010. "In keeping with the X.Org goal of about one release per year, Release 7.5 of the X Window System occurred on October 26, 2009. This release featured the first official version of Multi-Pointer X, "E-EDID support", improved pointer acceleration, an XACE-based SELinux security module, and RandR version 1.3. It also included the kernel modesetting support developed over the last several years, with the goal of moving parts of X better handled by the host operating system into it." Also posted are the results of the 2010 board election, in which Alex Deucher, Keith Packard, Matthieu Herrb, Matthias Hopf, and Eric Anholt were elected.
