Re: Hitting X limit in launching maximum number of vkcube instances

[Adam Jackson]

No, just MAXCLIENTS. Probably vkcube (or the driver it's using) should fail
more robustly when it can't connect to the display, instead of letting you
render without presenting though.

2023 X.Org Foundation Election vote results

[Ricardo Garcia]

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,
