Where is vulkan!?

Vulkanians, please stop promises and be logical. Live long and prosper!

- Convert Khronos Group into Khronos Foundation: The Document Foundation is a good starting model.
- Use an Open Government model.
- Make Open Source projects first class citizen of them: MESA, Wayland, KiCad, FreeCAD, Blender, Dolphin.. whatever competent 3D related FOSS project)
- Just use Gallium3D to implement Vulkan on ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS.
- Make Vulkan implementation Open Source, LGPL.
- Make stuff like bgfx unnecesary.
- Make toolkits look like toys.
- Make Vulkan be a fast developed standard, avoid unnecesary buraucracies and promote hacking in very active ways.

If you don't do that, OpenGL will be only for Nvidia and DirectX12/13 will win.

PS: Live long and prosper!

Khronos did announce a release date of Q4 2015 for Vulkan, there are exactly 22 days before this period is over and we still don't even have a concrete release date. I don't like being kept out of the loop like this, will Vulkan make it's debut in time for Q4 2015? Or will it be announced as "delayed" in the coming weeks, or will it just be announced delayed on the 31st?

If they are sticking to the release date of December 2015, then vulkan should by now for all intents and purposes already be ready in an RC state, if it does not yet have an RC, just admit already that you'll miss the mark and have to release it in Q1 or Q2 of 2016, but don't keep us out of the loop like this.

I know it might be hard to coordinate with so many separate parties within Khronos that are involved with Vulkan to settle on a concrete release date or whether or not it's ready, but just do it already...
