FAQ

I’m new to Khronos and want to catch up on the recent work group activity.  What should I do?

The best way to catch up is to review the working group email lists archives for the technologies in which you have interest.

My company is a Khronos Member. Can I sign up for a work group email list using my personal email (Yahoo, Google etc) account?

No, to participate in the Khronos Working Group email lists, you must use an email account with a domain name that matches your parent company.  We require this for security reasons and maintain a very strict policy.  If you are a subcontractor to a Khronos members, you should try to obtain an email address from the Khronos Member company.

I want to enter a bug report into Bugzilla

Khronos members have access to the Members Only Bugzilla.  This information is described on in the Members Only area. To enter a bug report, simply create an account and submit your report.

I am logged into the Members Only area of the website and am able to view the Khronos Members Only Wiki, but I can’t edit anything. It says that I need to log in?

The Wiki uses its own login system. Once you have reached the Wiki in the Members Only area, you can create a Wiki account that will let you edit any page on the Wiki.

How do I get access to the Members Only areas of the website?

If your company is a Khronos Member and membership dues are current, you can sign up as a company representative at http://www.khronos.org/members/signup.  Your signup will usually be validated and approved within 48-72hr.  Note: Your email address must match the domain of your parent company.

If your company is not yet a member, then they need to complete a membership agreement and pay yearly dues before any representatives will be able to access the Members Only areas of the website.

My company is a Khronos Member.  I am trying to access the SVN, but when I go to a particular folder and enter my username and password, I get an “access denied” error message. How do I get access.

Each SVN repositories has a unique set of permissions.  Some repositories and folders allow access to any registered Khronos member.  Other repositories related to the Conformance Tests for that technology, require that the member company has signed the Khronos Conformance Test Development Source Agreement.  Your company will need to sign this document for you to get access.  (Note:  the 2007 membership agreement has the CTDSA incorporated into the membership agreement, so new companies will have automatic access unless they specifically decline the terms of the CTDSA).
