    WHAT: Graphical Embedding with FRESCO
    Fresco is an object-oriented user interface system under
    development as a standard part of X11R6. The Fresco API covers
    functionality in Xlib and Xt and adds support for the structured
    graphics and application embedding. Fresco has three fundamental
    features that distinguish it from Xt and most other APIs for
    graphical user interfaces:

    - Standard object model from the Object
    Management Group (OMG)

    - Resolution independence

    - Graphical embedding


    This talk will give an overview of Fresco and focus on the support
    for graphical embedding, which is a unification of structured
    graphics and application embedding.

    WHO: Mark Linton, Silicon Graphics

    Mark Linton is a Principal Scientist at Silicon Graphics, Inc.,
    leading the development of the Fresco user interface system. Prior
    to joining SGI, he was an assistant professor in the Computer Systems Laboratory at Stanford University (1983-90). He has published papers
    on a variety of computer systems topics, was the original author of
    the debugger, Dbx, and led the development of the C++ user interface
    toolkit, InterViews. His current research interests are in distributed objects, user interfaces and programming environments.

    Just over ten days and twenty-eight years ago. Wonder if anyone recorded
    it for Youtube, launched February 14th eleven years later.
