# The Khronos Group

The [Khronos Group](https://www.khronos.org/) has accepted the X.Org Foundation as an adopter (pro bono). This allows developers of community-based Open Source drivers to submit conformance test results for all the supported platforms of the driver.

## Applying with the X.Org Foundation

To submit any conformance results, our agreement with Khronos has the following requirements:

 * The submitter needs to be a [[member|Membership]] of the X.Org Foundation
 * The hardware already received conformance testing from a paying company (contact us if this will never happen)
 * The driver needs to be:
  * community-backed
  * Open Source
  * under the X.Org umbrella

If you satisfy these requirements, contact board (at) foundation.x.org, and prove that your case is covered by our agreement with Khronos. Please also include the wanted @x.org email address you would like to get, along with the email address you would like emails to be re-directed to.

## Creating an account on Khronos

After receiving your @x.org address, you need to register with Khronos:

 * Test that your email address actually works
 * Go to the [Khronos member signup](https://www.khronos.org/members/signup/) page
 * Select "Software in the Public Interest, Inc" in the Company field
 * Use your @x.org email address in the "Primary Company Email Address" field.
 * Fill the rest of the form with your personal information

New account email confirmation normally arrives in minutes. If you still do not get the email after > 3 hours, please contact webmaster (at) khronos.org.

When your account has been created, visit the [Adopter login](https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/login) page, which will contain all the necessary information to submit conformance results.

*__Warning__*: Before submitting conformance results, please ask for approval to the board of directors of X.Org!
