Beryl and Compiz to re-merge (sort of)
It looks like the Beryl project will be re-merging into the plugins part of Compiz. Compiz is an OpenGL 3D desktop that was originally developed by Dave Reveman at Novell.
In my opinion this will be a good thing for both projects. By combining efforts the will be able to improve on an already outstanding product. The world of open source software is littered with duplicate projects, so it's nice to see these two get back together.
