Re: Richard Stallman
Hello, Someone have been harassing people for ages, making women and others feel very uncomfortable and unlegitimate in the open source community. Such a person should not be accepted without hge moves:: - acknowledgement - apologies - step back - do a deep work on their oppressive behaviors - do not ask to come back (or that's just like saying "f*** you all") These things apply even when that person is called richard stallman. Being a rockstar doesn't give anyone permission to destroy other people. (I won't get here into the "this is also a systemic issue" because there are so many articles about that on the web). Have a good day, gagz Random Bytes: The Debian Project as a whole is doing a very bad job with Richard Stallman. You are all wrong. This is an empty hysteria. Today I took a step away from Debian. Hopefully every user will do the same.
Richard Stallman
The Debian Project as a whole is doing a very bad job with Richard Stallman. You are all wrong. This is an empty hysteria. Today I took a step away from Debian. Hopefully every user will do the same.
