ITEM: Invoice from decommissioning server
We had a request come in from the university that is still hosting some of the
older X.org servers asking us what to do with some old hard drives from the
server. This request got approved pre-maturely by mistake, so this vote was just
to make sure we were on the same page about this.

As part of our sponsorship agreement with Gitlab we will be hosting a virtual
booth for X.org at Gitlab Commit. Lyude is currently working on coming up with
the presentation for this.
