OpenGL

The New OpenGL

It was announced at the 2006 SIGGRAPH that OpenGL would be managed by the Khronos Group in the future instead of SGI, who still owned OpenGL and all the associated copyrights, but it would no longer manage it. The Khronos Group is a consortium of hardware and software vendors with a vested interest in OpenGL that focuses on the creation and maintenance of open standards APIs, most notably before they acquired OpenGL, the COLLADA file format for 3D content. Finally, there was some news from the OpenGL front, and for the first time in two years, there was rumour of a brand new version of the OpenGL API that would bring some major changes.
