## X Developer's Meeting 2004
[[!table header="no" class="mointable" data="""
**XDC 2004** | [[XDC 2005 >>|Events/XDC2005]]
"""]]
We have scheduled a three day X Developer's meeting from Wednesday, April 28, through Friday, April 30, 2004, at the Cambridge Research Laboratory (CRL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This meeting is intended to cover a wide variety of topics about X Window System technologies, and the as yet unmet needs of the technologies that depend on the X Window System. As a result, this meeting is intended for people working across the entire X Window System stack, including toolkits and window managers and desktop infrastructure. This meeting is not, however, intended to cover general X application development topics or concepts.
There will be a number of people giving presentations or leading discussions. These presentations will likely consume no more than half of the overall meeting time so the remaining time can be spent with informal discussions, hacking, breakout sessions, etc.
If you wish to volunteer to give a presentation or lead a discussion, please send e-mail to xdevconf@freedesktop.org. In addition, if you have specific topics you'd like to see discussed in a presentation or during informal sessions, please send e-mail with your suggestions to that address as well.

## Limited In-Person Attendance
Due to space limitations, attendance will be limited to no more than 40 people. If you would like to attend, please send mail to xdevconf@freedesktop.org. Having the names of attendees in advance eases building security, as we share the building with other companies.
An audio feed will be made available for those attending remotely or unable to attend due to limitations on space. The meeting venue provides networking support with high speed Internet access.
The hotels recommended near CRL are The Kendall Hotel, the Cambridge Marriott, and the Residence Inn. All three of these are a short walk from CRL and easily accessible via public transportation from the Kendall Square subway stop next to MIT. We have not negotiated any special rates with these hotels, so you'll need to shop around for the best rates, as they vary. A longer list of hotels is available at <http://www.ai.mit.edu/visiting/hotels/hotels.shtml>. Directions to the lab can be found at: <http://www.crl.hpl.hp.com/who/lab/directions.htm>
