== 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).

== Items discussed ==
ITEM: OPW status
OPW is progressing well, no red flags spotted at this point. Christian L
(the mentor) needs a freedesktop account soon, we'll check if we can extend
the number of ppl who can approve accounts.
ACTION: None
STATUS: Complete
