They're the same person

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.

I was going to nominate myself, then in a power move wrestle complete control of the organization and do the world a favor by disbanding the X.org Foundation and announcing that every single one of the projects they are responsible for, starting with Wayland, followed quickly by Mesa, are being scraped.

I understand why people might not like Wayland, but what's wrong with Mesa?
