http://www.khronos.org/news/events/d...rancisco_2009/
There will be a group of presenters covering OpenGL 3.1 on Tuesday afternoon (3/24). OpenCL will also be a big topic for the day.
I'll try to follow up here with more details after the presentation.

Oh. The colorizing of the user name shouldn't imply any official PR capacity. I just asked the webmaster to set my account so I can create topics in the announcement section, I guess it turns red when you do that 
Just wanted to let people know that more information will be forthcoming next week.

That's great news!
Unfortunately for me, I'll be arriving for the GDC on Tuesday, so I'll probably miss the presentation
Will the notes be made available online?

The GL section of the Khronos track runs from 2 to 4PM. Room 3002. Would be happy to meet up and chat with people even if you arrive after the presentation.
Don't know what the plan is for materials to be put online yet.

Thanks Rob!
I'm impressed that the spec was finished this quickly, and I'm excited to see what's new.

OpenGL 3.1 Specification (March 24, 2009) http://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/g...1.20090324.pdf
OpenGL 3.1 Specification with GL_ARB_compatibility extension (March 24, 2009) http://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/g...p.20090324.pdf
Just after a quick pre-coffee glimpse: Uniform buffers look shiny
Gone all the crap with bindable uniforms, uniform blocks similar to the cbuffer syntax, also with specifyable layout.
And at last, signed normalized texture formats :P

Re: OpenGL 3.1 info at GDC 2009
there's going to be new GL3/gl3.h, GL3/gl3ext.h headers according to section H. of spec. it says "Initially it contains only the APIs in OpenGL 3.1".
Does this mean features will only ever be removed in major versions?
