freedesktop.org
freedesktop.org is a project that tries to bring together the base
technologies of the desktops based on X Window System, making desktops such as GNOME or KDE more interoperable.
freedesktop.org hosts a lot of projects like: X.Org, D-Bus, HAL, Cairo, GStreamer, etc. GNOME is based on most of those projects and platforms like Maemo or Moblin make an extensive use of them. Our work with those platforms has given us extensive experience using most of the projects of freedesktop.
Inside freedesktop we mainly collaborate with GStreamer project: sending general patches, adding support for formats, integrating it with other platforms (such as WebKit), and doing low level integration of the technology.
GStreamer
GStreamer is a framework for creating multimedia applications.
