Hello!

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 2025 election are now open and will remain open
until 23:59 UTC on 16 April 2025.

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 four members receiving the highest vote totals will serve as
directors for two year terms.

The directors who received two year terms starting in 2024 were Erik
Faye-Lund, Mark Filion, Neal Gompa and Simon Ser. They will continue to
serve until their term ends in 2026. Current directors whose term
expires in 2025 are Lyude Paul, Arkadiusz Hiler and Christopher
Michael. Additionally, a fourth board position is open following the
resignation of Simona Vetter in Q3 2024.

A director is expected to participate in the fortnightly IRC meeting to
discuss current business and 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.

A member may nominate themselves or any other member they feel is
qualified. Nominations should be sent to the Election Committee
at elections@x.org.

Nominees shall be required to be current members of the X.Org
Foundation, and submit a personal statement of up to 200 words that
will be provided to prospective voters. The collected statements, along
with the statement of contribution to the X.Org Foundation in the
member's account page on http://members.x.org, will be made available
to all voters to help them make their voting decisions.

Nominations, membership applications or renewals and completed personal
statements must be received no later than 23:59 UTC on 16 April 2025.

The slate of candidates will be published 23 April 2025 and candidate
Q&A will begin then. The deadline for Xorg membership applications and
renewals is 28 April 2025.

Best, 

Mark Filion, on behalf of the X.Org BoD
