Hi all,
The X.org board is soliciting proposals to host XDC in 2017. By the usual rotation a location in north america is preferred, but the board will also consider other locations, especially if there's an interesting co-location with another conference.
If you consider hosting XDC, we have assembled a wiki page with what's generally expected and needed:

If possible the board would like to decide on the next location at XDC 2016 in Helsinki, please submit your proposal with at least the key information about location, possible dates and estimated costs to board@foundation.x.org latest by 31th August. An early quick heads-up to the board if you consider hosting would also be good, in case we need to adjust the schedule a bit. Also earlier is better since in generally there will be a bit of Q&A with organizers.
And if you just have some questions about what organizing XDC entails, please feel free to chat with a previous organizers, or with someone from the board.
Thanks, Daniel
