Requests For Proposals for hosting XDC 2024 are now open
Hello everyone! The X.org board is soliciting proposals to host XDC in 2024. Since XDC 2023 is being held in Europe this year, we've decided to host in North America. However, the board is open to other locations, especially if there's an interesting co-location with another conference. If you're considering hosting XDC, we've assembled a wiki page with what's generally expected and needed: https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/RFP/ When submitting your proposal, please make sure to include at least the key information about the potential location in question, possible dates along with estimated costs. Proposals can be submitted to board at foundation.x.org until the deadline of *September 17th, 2023*. Additionally, an quirk early heads-up to the board if you're considering hosting would be appreciated, in case we need to adjust the schedule a bit. Also, earlier is better since there generally will be a bit of Q with organizers. And if you just have some questions about what organizing XDC entails, please feel free to chat with previous organizers, or someone from the board. Thanks, Ricardo Garcia, on behalf of X.Org
2023 X.Org Foundation Election vote results
The Board of Directors election and the vote on the By-laws concluded at 14:00 UTC on May 1st 2023 and these are the results: - We had 75 members this year, of which 55 cast a vote, so the turnout is 73.3%. - On the question "Do you accept the proposed By-Law changes to make SFC the new fiscal sponsor of the X.Org foundation, replacing SPI?" 52 of the 55 members voted yes (94.5%). Among all 75 members, approval is 69.3% (52/75, over 2/3), so we can consider this change approved using the current by-law rules. - On the question "Do you accept the proposed By-Law changes to modify the special voting quorum requirements to be limited to present (meaning voting) members?" 48 of the 55 members voted yes (87.3%). Despite this, 48 votes represent only 64% of the members, which means the by-laws change does not pass. - In the election of the Directors to the Board of the X.Org Foundation, the results were that Daniel Vetter, Lyude Paul, Arkadiusz Hiler and Christopher Michael were elected for two-year terms. The old full board is: Emma Anholt, Mark Filion, Ricardo Garcia, Samuel Iglesias Gonsálvez, Manasi D Navare, Lyude Paul, Alyssa Rosenzweig and Daniel Vetter. The new full board is: Emma Anholt, Mark Filion, Ricardo Garcia, Arkadiusz Hiler, Christopher Michael, Lyude Paul, Alyssa Rosenzweig and Daniel Vetter. Full election results, sorted by points: * Daniel Vetter (367 points) * Lyude Paul (348 points) * Arkadiusz Hiler (286 points) * Christopher Michael (263 points) * Manasi Navare (195 points) * Uma Shankar (157 points) * Thomas Adam (105 points) * William Weeks-Balconi (51 points) Thanks everyone, -Ricardo Garcia, on behalf of the X.Org elections committee
2023 X.Org Foundation Membership deadline extended
Several people reported getting multiple membership and election emails recently for the first time when we flushed the queue of messages which had been unfortunately held in moderation in the eve...@lists.x.org mailing list queue. Thanks Luc, Laurent and Harald for getting in touch! Thanks to other mailing lists, we believe to have reached a wide audience in any case. Membership numbers look good and we already have 8 candidates lined up for the upcoming voting process that was scheduled to start this week. Still, we believe it's fair to extend the membership application/renewal deadline until the end of this week for those who haven't had the chance to do so yet. The new deadline is April 23rd 23:59 UTC. Please note that only current members can vote in the upcoming election. If you are interested in joining the X.Org Foundation or in renewing your membership, please visit the membership system site at: https://members.x.org/ In order not to delay the process further, however, we will not accept new candidates. You can see the current list here: https://wiki.freedesktop.org/xorg/BoardOfDirectors/Elections/2023/ The election will start on April 24th and end on May 1st as was initially planned, so members will have 1 week for voting instead of 2. Reminders will be sent throughout the election week to memb...@x.org. Thanks again for your attention, -Ricardo Garcia, on behalf of the X.Org elections committee
2023 X.Org Board of Directors Elections timeline extended, request for nominations
We are seeking nominations for candidates for election to the X.org Foundation Board of Directors. However, as we presently do not have enough nominations to start the election - the decision has been made to extend the timeline by 2 weeks. Note this is a fairly regular part of the elections process. The new deadline for nominations to the X.org Board of Directors is 23:59 UTC on April 2nd, 2023. The new deadline for membership application or renewals is April 9th, 2023. Membership is required to vote on the elections. The Board consists of directors elected from the membership. Each year, an election is held to bring the total number of directors to eight. The four members receiving the highest vote totals will serve as directors for two year terms. The directors who received two year terms starting in 2022 were Emma Anholt, Mark Filion, Alyssa Rosenzweig and Ricardo Garcia. They will continue to serve until their term ends in 2024. Current directors whose term expires in 2023 are Samuel Iglesias Gonsálvez, Manasi D Navare, Lyude Paul and Daniel Vetter. A director is expected to participate in the fortnightly IRC meeting to discuss current business and to attend the annual meeting of the X.Org Foundation, which will be held at a location determined in advance by the Board of Directors. A member may nominate themselves or any other member they feel is qualified. Nominations should be sent to the Election Committee at electi...@x.org. Nominees shall be required to be current members of the X.Org Foundation, and submit a personal statement of up to 200 words that will be provided to prospective voters.

Nominations, membership applications or renewals and completed personal statements must be received no later than 23:59 UTC on April 2nd, 2023.
