              ============   ANNOUNCEMENT!  ========

The next X Developer's Conference is scheduled on February 8-10, 2006

to be compatible with planning for other important conferences before
and after.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

 o  Updates on existing R&D
 o  Drivers
 o  Input handling
 o  DRI/DRM
 o  GL in its various incarnations
 o  Performance

=== HackFest and Breakout Sessions ===

Expect ample support for informal breakout sessions, hacking and 
socializing
during this XDevConf.



At this time, we do not have a limit on the attendance.  We still have
a choice of rooms, but we do need to develop a headcount as early as
possible.  So,  if you have either presented or attended previously,
or even considered attending previously, we would like to receive email
from you, expressing whether you do or do not expect to attend this year.


Looking forward to seeing you at the next X Developer's Conference in
sunny Santa Clara, CA!
