XORG Foundation

I’ve been following the arch and foundation mailing lists for the past few weeks, and it’s very reassuring to see progress being made on that front. It’s even more encouraging to see Jim plugging the GNOME Foundation and membership structure. A while back when there was a heated discussion on the foundation about the membership policy, I initally didn’t agree with Nat’s proposal to open things up. I definitely think it’s a good idea now, and has worked out well in the last couple of months, having monitored the membership committee mailing list as a board rep. Sure, we’ll still probably result in low turn outs in the various elections [we were getting them before the policy as well], but it seems to give people a good sense of being, and community spirit by being a GNOME Foundation Member. We are definitely one of the top free software projects in this field.
