Just for easier reading v2: Rebase since members the change to special voting criteria did not pass.
2023-06-15Update membership agreement to suitDaniel Vetter1-34/+26
This time we did not forget about that, unlike with the SPI merger. Only substantial edit SFC suggested is dropping the rules for changes at the very bottom, becuase that's already redudant with the by-laws/governance rules.

Will be updated if the bylaw changes pass with the new date.
2023-02-15Clarify that CoC violations can be a reason to terminate membershipLyude Paul1-0/+2
SFC suggested this, but under the CoC policy the Board (Governance Committee in the future) enacted this is already the case. But it's always good to be explicit.
2023-02-15Typos and style fixesLyude Paul1-19/+17
- Expand DRM - Add some missing commas in the Notices section - Style fixes SFC suggested in a few different places - A pile of typos
2023-02-15Use non-gendered terminologyDaniel Vetter1-23/+21
Replace he/him/his with they/them/their and drop the generic masculine line. Part of general cleanups SFC suggested. Split out from all other typo fixes and minor cleanups to keep the latter more readable.
2023-02-15Core changes to enacte SFC as fiscal sponsorLyude Paul1-40/+27
- Add SFC terminlogy - drop the sentence that X.Org membership doesn't include SPI membership - Add SFC conflict of interest policy to Member Declaration of Interest - replace SPI with SFC including footnotes and links - Drop section on signing contracts, only SFC does that - Drop/adjust of Financial Liaison section, Change Checks/Drafts/etc. section and Banking Arrangements section to put SFC fully in charge of our financial assets - Add Relationship to SFC Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement section. Requested by SFC to make it clear our rules are subordinate to any governance rules SFC has, and that any changes also need to be approved by SFC before they can be enacted. These are all the functional core changes required by SFC so we can join them as a project.
2023-02-15Drop any mentions of National Cooperative Research and Production ActLyude Paul1-13/+7
or any other law, since legally only SFC exists with any powers. We've tried to reconstruct the history of why this Act has specific meanings, but could not find anyone who was around back then. This might be leftovers from quite a few X.org reconstitutions ago.
2023-02-15Replace terms to avoid confusion with SFC functionsLyude Paul1-229/+237
- s/By-Laws/Governance Rules/ - Rename X.org Foundation to X.org Project - s/Foundation/Project - s/Board of Directors/X.Org Governance Committee/ - s/Director/Leadership Member/ - s/Officer/Administrative Member/ - s/Secretary/Authorized Representative/ - s/Treasurer/Financial Liaison/ - "lesser committees" instead of just committees These have all been requested by SFC to avoid confusion with SFC's functions and bodies.

2018-11-08Allow fd.o to join forces with X.OrgHarry Wentland1-0/+5
The leadership of freedesktop.org (fd.o) has recently expressed interest in having an elected governing body. Given the tight connection between fd.o and X.Org and the fact that X.Org has such a governing body it seemed obvious to consider extending X.Org's mandate to fd.o. Quite a bit of background on fd.o leading up to this has been covered by Daniel Stone at XDC 2018 [2] and was covered really well by Jake Edge of LWN [1]. One question that is briefly addressed in the LWN article and was thoroughly discussed by members of the X.Org boards, Daniel Stone, and others in hallway discussions is the question of whether to extend the X.Org membership to projects hosted on fd.o but outside the purpose of the X.Org foundation as enacted in its bylaws. Most people I talked to would prefer not to dilute X.Org's mission and extend membership only to contributors of projects that follow X.Org's purpose as enacted in its bylaws. Other projects can continue to be hosted on fd.o but won't receive X.Org membership for the mere reason of being hosted on fd.o. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/767258/ [2] https://youtu.be/s22B3E7rUTs v3: - Clarify what support of fd.o projects entails without formalizing a two-tier system for fd.o projects that fall under X.Org's mandate and those who don't - Add link to Daniel's talk at XDC2018 v2: - Subject line that better describes the intention - Briefly describe reasons behind this change - Drop expanding membership eligibility Acked-by: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org>

Note the clunky 'cut -c 2-' bit is to strip off the leading backslash. I couldn't figure out a better way to deal with that, since I need to escape the % char in the git-log command, but the escape char still gets passed through to the command and ends up in the .info file. Currently the date shows up like: Thu, 2 Feb 2017 16:02:08 -0500 maybe we want to tweak that. Reviewed-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

This is not necessary anymore because all the transactions need to be approved by SPI. The treasurer's role would become "the person who is regularly in contact with SPI's treasurer". This person has no authority and cannot be in legal trouble so everything is fine.
