VNC Session Abstract:
Virtual Network Computing [VNC] enables an economical and effective
client-server capability within a Linux environment. Given this, VNC
holds
much promise for extending the value of Linux to a broader set of
users
across a wide range of markets. This session is intended to
increase the visibility of VNC within the Linux open source
community,
acknowledge the contributions made to date, discuss the current
limitations, and build support for turning VNC into an extensible,
robust
delivery vehicle.
Our speakers are:
James Weatherall
AT&T Labs, Cambridge UK:
James joined Olivetti & Oracle Research Labs in Cambridge
immediately
after graduating in 1997. He spent a pre-doctorate year working on
WinVNC, the VNC server for Win32, and on experimental lightweight
VNC servers for embedded household devices. (The Olivetti & Oracle
Research
Labs were purchased by AT&T in 1998, to become AT&T Labs Cambridge.)
Adam J. Richter
President
Yggdrasil Computing, Inc.
In the late 80's and early 90's Adam Richter made his living
porting
and enhancing the X window system for a number of companies
throughout
Silicon Valley. In 1992, Mr. Richter formed Yggdrasil Computing, the
company that founded the Linux CDROM industry. Adam believes that
VNC
has tremendous potential for enabling much thinner computing
interfaces and
has worked to forge industry alliances between Yggdrasil and a number
of
other companies to make that a reality. Mr. Richter has a BA in
computer
science from the University of California, Berkeley.
We hope to see you there!
