[RFC] Allow fd.o to join forces with X.Org
The leadership of freedesktop.org (fd.o) has recently expressed interest
in having an elected governing body. Given the tight connection between
fd.o and X.Org and the fact that X.Org has such a governing body it
seemed obvious to consider extending X.Org's mandate to fd.o.
Quite a bit of background on fd.o leading up to this has been covered by
Daniel Stone at XDC 2018 and was covered really well by Jake Edge of LWN [1].
One question that is briefly addressed in the LWN article and was
thoroughly discussed by members of the X.Org boards, Daniel Stone, and
others in hallway discussions is the question of whether to extend the
X.Org membership to projects hosted on fd.o but outside the purpose of
the X.Org foundation as enacted in its bylaws.
Most people I talked to would prefer not to dilute X.Org's mission and
extend membership only to contributors of projects that follow X.Org's
purpose as enacted in its bylaws. Other projects can continue to be
hosted on fd.o but won't receive X.Org membership for the mere reason of
being hosted on fd.o.

v2:
- Subject line that better describes the intention
- Briefly describe reasons behind this change
- Drop expanding membership eligibility
---
We're looking for feedback and comments on this patch. If it's not
widely controversial the final version of the patch will be put to a
vote at the 2019 X.Org elections.
The patch applies to the X.Org bylaws git repo, which can be found at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorgfoundation/bylaws
Happy commenting.

gitlab migration: xserver issues enabled
I've enabled filing gitlab issues for xserver, as people were trying to file bugs against xorg/meta (which is not the right place). Expect bugzilla migration to start happening later this week and take... well, I don't know how long, I'll be attempting to triage/close old issues as I go and I don't have a good estimate for how long that'll take. If you're getting notifications for xorg issues from gitlab, and haven't set up your mail filters yet, now would be an excellent time to do that. - ajax ___ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel

With my member hat on, I think this is the best choice.
