  Compiz is Dead, Long Live Compiz! Feb 4, 2009 - klange  
  And so on that day, the first Monday of the Second Month of holy year of nine, the great elders did meet in private. And such was decided, that the Compiz of old is dead, and long shall live the new Compiz. Gone are the days of the Fusion, for now we live as one. Gone are the days of misdirection, for now we follow a path.

All glory to the compositor!

So, yes, yesterday was the Compiz Conference Call. I'm not nearly important or influential enough, nor was I even able to be there, but it happened and everyone pretty much agreed that the current "C" Compiz should be scrapped, Compiz++ "merged" (isn't more of a replacement?), and that soon after Nomad would be merged. Compiz-Fusion is no more - all of the "community" plugins are going to be some sort of unsupported or alternate set (this really started happening when Plane was dropped, I guess). The -Fusion name is pretty much being dropped, as is the idea of Compiz++, it's all just Compiz - the new Compiz. Forums and wikis and bug trackers will be moved to compiz.org, and things will continue.

This is all good - but I have to get to work, first with re-learning C++ and second with porting the Headtracking plugin.
Hopefully we can get SpringDesk to be an integral part of the neo-Compiz, too.
