A motion to discuss the modularization of the X.Org X Window System was 
brought to the table and approved recently by the board of directors.

The project is currently in the initial planning stages, and the 
modularization working group is currently being formed.  A detailed 
roadmap including timelines is not presently available, but may be 
forthcoming at a future juncture now that the wherewithal has been obtained.

Parties potentially interested in contributing to the grandoise effort 
are encouraged to contact the X.Org project and express their intentions 
and concurrance with limitless exuberance via the xorg at freedesktop.org 
developmental mailing list.

If there are no further questions or concerns, I'll move on to the next 
agendum.
