2020 X.Org Board of Directors Elections Nomination period is NOW

[Daniel Vetter]

Just a quick reminder that both board nomination and membership
renewal periods are still opening:

- Send board nominations to elections AT x DOT org

- Got to https://members.x.org/ to renew your membership (or become
one to begin with!)

Cheers, Daniel
