Matt. Let's put this really plainly: You've been a board member now for about 6 months. What have you done so far? How have you really used your power of an X.org foundation board member to help X or relations?

Obviously we're looking for funding models that are much less parasitic, but as we don't need to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to support a paid staff, we don't need to be trying to find anything as big as this.

It's easy to criticise until you actually have to juggle the board with work and family. Matt has helped organize two documentation book sprints and has managed the EVoC program among other things. To anyone out there who has good ideas or lots of time and energy they want to dedicate to Xorg, please become a member and run in the next election!
