Summary

Today, the SPI Board unanimously voted to formally invite the X.Org Foundation to become an Associated Project. This vote has been a while in the making and we're proud that we're now on the home stretch. Joing SPI removes much of the legal and accounting administrative work from the X.Org Board, leaving us to focus on the things we should be doing: promoting X, Wayland, Open Graphics, organizing developer conferences and promoting graphics development through participation in coding programs (GSoC, OPW, EVoC).
