freedesktop.org (fd.o) is a project to work on interoperability and shared base technology for free software desktop environments for the X Window System (X11) on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It was founded by Havoc Pennington from Red Hat in March 2000. The organisation focuses on the user. There are many development frameworks for X, and this is unlikely to change. The organisation seeks to ensure that differences in development frameworks are not user-visible. freedesktop.org was formerly known as the X Desktop Group, and the acronym "XDG" remains common in their work.

abstract
  • freedesktop.org (fd.o) is a project to work on interoperability and shared base technology for free software desktop environments for the X Window System (X11) on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It was founded by Havoc Pennington from Red Hat in March 2000. The organisation focuses on the user. There are many development frameworks for X, and this is unlikely to change. The organisation seeks to ensure that differences in development frameworks are not user-visible. The most widely used free software X desktops, GNOME, KDE and Xfce, are working closely with the project. The project recently released Portland 1.0 (xdg-utils), a set of common interfaces for desktop environments. freedesktop.org was formerly known as the X Desktop Group, and the acronym "XDG" remains common in their work.
