The X Industry Association, formed last year after rumblings of discontent over the minimal marketing and promotional efforts of the technically-led X Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, went public at Xhibition, launching an education drive aimed at information systems managers and users seeking information on the benefits and technical aspects of deploying X Window. X Consortium director Bob Scheifler welcomed the move. Chairman is David Harris of Adobe Systems Inc. The group is inviting active participation: current members include ADDS, Adobe, AGE, Digital Equipment Corp, Grafpoint, Hummingbird, Integrated Computer Solutions, IXI, Kinesix, Network Computing Devices, Non Standard Logics, Omron, Quarterdeck, SHOgraphics, Tektronix, Telesoft, WRQ, Visual Edge, Visionware and the X Business Group.
