  1. SIGGRAPH 2006 BOF Jon Leech OpenGL ARB Secretary

  2. ARB Status • Released OpenGL 2.1 & GLSL 1.20 • Pixel Buffer Objects • Non-square uniform matrix support (glUniformMatrix2x3fv() etc.) • sRGB Textures • New shading language features • OpenGL on Windows Vista support solved • Working Groups busy with new object model • To be used for all new ARB-approved OpenGL features • Transition path to “OpenGL 3.0” • Making sure we have this right is what's holding up ARB FBO, sync object, etc. specs • New Ecosystem Working Group - docs, SDKs, etc. • gDEBugger Academic Program • ARB transition to Khronos

  3. ARB -> Khronos Transition • Desktop OpenGL & OpenGL ES can work more closely • Keep APIs close together - reconverge in “OpenGL 3.0”? • Work under uniform IP policies • Work with other Khronos APIs - Collada (interchange), OpenKODE (EGL), OpenVG (2D), etc. • Share admin / developer / documentation resources • ARB and Khronos processes are very similar • Some relabelling - “ARB Secretary” -> “OpenGL Working Group Chair”, “ARB WG Chair” -> “Sub-WG Chair” • Khronos has agreed to “catch” • ARB is in the process of “throwing” • Step by step handover of Specifications, Working Groups, documentation, Website, budget, etc. • Expect to complete transition by October 2006

  4. Agenda • OpenGL on Windows Vista (Neil Trevett) • “OpenGL 3.0” Status (Benj Lipchak) • New Object Model (Michael Gold) • Ecosystem WG (Benj) • gDEBugger Academic Program (Avi Shapira) • Superbuffers WG (Barthold Lichtenbelt) • OpenGL Shading Language WG (Bill Licea-Kane) • Async WG (Barthold) • OpenGL ES & Khronos update (Neil) • Upcoming NVIDIA Extensions (Barthold) • Trivia Quiz in between speakers (Barthold) • Open Q&A
