## X Developer's Meeting 2005
[[!table header="no" class="mointable" data="""
**XDC 2005** | [[XDC 2006 >>|Events/XDC2006]]
"""]]
We have scheduled a three day X Developer's meeting from Saturday, February 12, through Monday, February 14, at the Cambridge Research Laboratory (CRL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
**** The meeting is now full!!! ***
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@lists.freedesktop.org|mailto:xdevconf@lists.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.
### Attend via Phone
The phone bridge is not working. See below for Audio streaming.
### Attend via IRC
IRC: freenode, #xdevconf
### Attend via Audio/Video feeds
X developer's meeting audio and video feeds:
* Audio: Point gnomemeeting at gabe.freedesktop.org. First, go into Audio Codecs and disable everything but G.711-uLaw and G.711-ALaw; needs a bit more bandwidth but means you can actually hear what people are saying.
* Video: Depending on your browser click on [[http://freedesktop.org:9192/|http://freedesktop.org:9192/]] or [[http://freedesktop.org/~keithp/webcam.html|http://freedesktop.org/~keithp/webcam.html]].
Will video presentations be available somewhere? Are them recorded?

### Limited In-Person Attendance
Due to space limitations, attendance will be limited to no more than 40 people, and we are almost full. If you would like to attend, please send mail to [[xdevconf@lists.freedesktop.org|mailto:xdevconf@lists.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|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|http://www.crl.hpl.hp.com/who/lab/directions.htm]]
