The X.Org Foundation joined SPI recently, after failing to file its taxes and losing its 501(c)(3) status. As far as I can tell everyone has been pleased with the results, especially not having to deal with the paperwork. But, what the fuck is going on? Perhaps if the Council is interested in a topic they would spare a few keystrokes to explain the rationale for such a change. From the perspective of someone who hasn't follow the Foundation closely, this whole thread looks like a spat between Council members and the Foundation trustees which is bizarre to say the least.
