Reminder: 2024 X.Org Board of Directors Elections timeline extended, request for nominations

[Christopher Michael]

This is a reminder that we are still looking for candidates for the 
upcoming X.Org Board of Directors elections, and that today is the last 
day to submit personal statements for nomination. X.org membership 
renewals are still open and will be needed to vote on those elections.


Please read below for more details.


Cheers,

Christopher Michael, on behalf of the X.Org BoD
