We are seeking nominations for candidates for election to the X.Org Foundation Board of Directors. All X.Org Foundation members are eligible for election to the board.
Nominations for the 2009 election are now open and will remain open until 23.59 GMT on 31 January 2009. 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 directors who received two-year terms starting in 2008 are Eric Anholt, Matthieu Herrb, Adam Jackson, and Carl Worth. They will continue to serve until their term ends in 2010. Current directors whose term expires in 2009 are Egbert Eich, Bart Massey, Keith Packard, and Daniel Stone. A director is expected to participate in the weekly conference call or IRC meeting to discuss current business and will be required 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, (generally concurrent with the X Developers Conference). A member may nominate themselves or any other member they feel is qualified. Nominees are required to be current members of the X.Org Foundation. To accept a nomination, the nominee must submit a personal statement of up to 200 words that will be provided to prospective voters. Nominations and statements should be sent to the Election Committee at: electi...@x.org The collected statements, along with the statement of contribution to the X.Org Foundation submitted in the membership application, will be made available to all voters to help them make their voting decisions.
