OpenGL Spec Now Controlled by Khronos Group

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the passing-the-torch dept.

99BottlesOfBeerInMyF writes "According to a recent press release, the OpenGL Architecture Review Board has voted to transfer control of the OpenGL API standard to the Khronos Group, an industry working group that seems mostly known for its focus on mobile applications. Apple Computer has also just joined the group, presumably because of their interest in OpenGL for the OS X platform. I wonder what affect, if any, this will have upon the future development of the OpenGL standard."

    I can't believe I saw this and thought we were talking about Klingons until my brain caught up.

      That would be the Q'onos group, you spineless p'taq!

      BTW, I included the "spineless p'taq" comment in order to keep with the theme, not because I'm trying to be insulting. I think of it as an "insensitive clod" joke, only with more glory and honor. Qapla!
