Great news! Thanks a lot to make it happen.
I hope I am wrong.
From my understanding most x86 GPUs still
cannot work with drm_hwcomposer since they lack of atomic mode-setting API support required by drm_hwcomposer. Hope this could be addressed soon since drm_hwcomposer becomes a standard project of fd.o.
How about the gralloc? There are also several implementations scattered somewhere. I think it's also important to standardize it to fd.o and make it work with fd.o's drm_hwcomposer.

Hey,
After talking to Liviu Dudau at LPC and Sean Paul & Kaveh Nasri at XDC it seems that we all could benefit from community maintainership of drm_hwcomposer.
I'm happy to announce that drm_hwcomposer now officially is hosted on freedesktop.org: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm_hwcomposer/
The chromiumos wiki entries have also been moved to f.do: https://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/drm_hwcomposer/ https://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/drm_hwcomposer/Overview/
Seems I can't connect to it now...
With this I'm hoping we'll be able to merge the changes done by intel in [1], but more importantly remove the need for an alternative implementation.
Regarding contributions, they are accepted on the dri-devel list, using the patch prefix "hwc".
Currently Sean Paul, Zach Reizner, Rob Clark, Rob Herring and Robert Foss have commit access. This is just the initial set, any contributor with a few commits under their belt is welcome to request commit access.
A fd.o account is needed for to grant commit rights, one can be requested here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests/
I would also like to thank Sean Paul for taking the initiative and helping out with the move.
