The X.Org Foundation joined SPI recently, after failing to file its |
| 9 |
taxes and losing its 501(c)(3) status. As far as I can tell everyone |
| 10 |
has been pleased with the results, especially not having to deal with |
| 11 |
the paperwork. |

But, what the fuck is going on? Perhaps if the Council is interested |
| 14 |
in a topic they would spare a few keystrokes to explain the rationale |
| 15 |
for such a change. From the perspective of someone who hasn't follow |
| 16 |
the Foundation closely, this whole thread looks like a spat between |
| 17 |
Council members and the Foundation trustees which is bizarre to say |
| 18 |
the least. |
