    13:14 <glenfe> @grafikrobot The Software Freedom Conservancy never
governed the Boost C++ Libraries, nor did the Boost Steering
committee, nor does the Boost Foundation. Only the Boost community
does that.
    13:15 <grafikrobot> Hopefully you'll clarify that on the dev list.

i.e. The "Boost Steering Committee"[1] became "Boost Foundation"[2].

It still deals with the C++Now conference, providing the mailing
lists, hosting, etc. But any decision making and governance of the
Boost libraries is still the domain of the Boost community (i.e. you,
me, and the other Boost library authors and maintainers).
