Per the bylaws, does the board need to vote on renaming to be more accurate? Namely,

"The 'Freedesktop.org, Mesa, Wayland, and Linux in a Trench Coat Shilling as X.Org' Foundation

Always remind this :

KEEP IT SIMPLE.

@EeveeEuphoria Per our code-of-conduct; Freedesktop.org, Mesa, Wayland, and Linux in a Trench Coat Shilling as X.Org projects are inclusive spaces for people of all sexual identities; gay, bi, pan, ace, demi, or even straight!

@XOrgFoundation rename wayland as x12. Why that wasn't done earlier, I don't know, but it's not too late.

@llewelly Or hear me out, we could rename X11 to Natick. It's not too late. I think @krh was really onto something with the whole "name important software after obscure Massachusetts suburbs" idea!

@XOrgFoundation @llewelly or Waltham or Watertown... W-suburbs like pearls on a string (ie route 20). I was also going to name something Cohasset, but I ran out of projects.

@krh @llewelly Ooh, yeah. Westboro maybe. Worcester is too city.

@XOrgFoundation @krh @llewelly I feel like Worcester encompasses X11 perfectly, Both encompass the Paris of the 80's vibe.

@XOrgFoundation the relaxed tone of this thread actually made me check the blue checkmark on this account... I like the recursive acronym idea, but I'm a traditionalist...
