That is a ham radio demonstration.  The head of Kosovo's amateur radio

Dr Preining spent many years packaging LaTeX without any payment from
Debian or the people who use it

Christmas 2018, he was removed from the Debian keyring: punished from
doing the work that he was not paid for

A few months later, he writes a forced confession

Then he can continue to work without any payment from Debian

Something odd about all that

The US State Department writes about it here:

https://www.state.gov/what-is-modern-slavery/

"psychological coercion, abuse of the legal process, deception, or other
coercive means to compel someone to work" - sounds a lot like the Debian
demotions blackmail, doesn't it?

"Once a person’s labor is exploited by such means, the person’s prior
consent to work for an employer is legally irrelevant: the employer is a
trafficker and the employee a trafficking victim."

People trafficking is a general term, it is not always about physical
trafficking.

The blackmail of Dr Norbert Preining and other cult phenomena are
examples of people trafficking and modern slavery.  You will not find Dr
Preining for sale in the FKK club, nonetheless, he has definitely been
trafficked by the Debian Account Managers and the Community Team (Debian
equivalent of the Stasi).

Some people feel Scientology has more in common with people trafficking
than it has in common with any serious religion

Then again, a German bishop just resigned this week after statistics
showed the Catholic Church trafficked thousands of boys.

We now see that at least one Albanian woman has been paid to work on
DebConf (the Outreachy in the back of the photo with Kirschner) while
other women in Kosovo are not being paid anything.  Is that fair?

You are correct and we sincerely apologize for the generalization
"German men".  It will not be used again.  Wir sprechen ein bischen
Deutsch, A1

Not all women are the same.  Not all men are the same.  Not all Germans
are the same.

Nonetheless, there appears to be something about German society that
allows a group of men, Matthias Kirschner and Florian Snow, to form a
pack like dogs.  We see this behavior, a pack of dogs, in the minutes of
the FSFE General Assembly.

There are probably many men in Germany who do not support dog pack behavior.

See the messages from "aristocat" today.  That is the evidence.

"aristocat" does not use a name.  When you look at all the messages from
"aristocat" together,

a) it is obvious they come from a member of the FSFE General Assembly

b) the author of those messages has contempt for women

These are facts.  Any defender of Freedom would be delighted to discuss
the "aristocat" emails in a court of law.


Matthias Kirschner cancelled elections.  Kirschner does not let
volunteers vote because he is a coward and he might lose.

Matthias Kirschner will not start any law suit because he is a coward

Software Freedom is about human dignity in the face of technology

We have to remember that Software Freedom is not everything: the dignity
of women is a bigger issue than the dignity of people who own computers.

The comments from "aristocat" (FSFE) today are an affront to the dignity
of women.

We also have to remember that the attempts to exploit women and reduce
them to a naked commodity are comparable to the efforts to reduce
developers and our intellectual property to a commodity, such as the
REUSE campaign from FSFE.

How German men see women, Galia Mancheva and Albanian whores

2021-06-08 Thread Debian Community News Team


Artemis[1] is one of Europe's largest brothels.

It is in Berlin, not so far from FSFE high command.

In most brothels, the women wear a nightie or bikini

In German FKK clubs[2], like Artemis, women wear nothing.  This is the
worst place to be a woman.

When the FSFE men arrive, they want to see everything before they choose
a woman.  FKK clubs, prostitutes without the dignity of a bikini: "open
source" women.

They don't want to speak to the woman, they don't want to listen to the
woman.  German men, FSFE men, judge women by looking at their naked tits
and their naked pussy.

That is what Artemis, FKK and FSFE is all about.

When German FSFE men are lecturing Europe about "Freedom", they are
talking about a form of freedom where MEN have all the Freedom and women
have no freedom, no employment contract, no clothes.

The FSFE coin toss.  Heads: men win.  Tails: women lose.

The recent emails from "aristocat", comments about Albanian whores,
clearly come from the FSFE high command employees or a German man in the
FSFE General Assembly.

At Debian Community News, we also recognize the immense contributions
from many people who do not code

We thank Molly for the occasions where she made positive contributions

Nonetheless, these contributions do not give anybody the right to make a
Gemlich letter a.k.a. RMS Open Letter

We recognize the possibility that Molly was not acting alone and she was

One of the disturbing things about this is that we see British and
American people (e.g. Chris Lamb and his girlfriend Molly de Blanc)
behaving like Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party.

Compare de Blanc's "RMS Open Letter" to the text of Hitler's first piece
of antisemitic prose, the Gemlich letter from 1919.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemlich_letter

RMS is of Jewish descent.

Molly de Blanc is the new Adolf Hitler

accuser had time to visit a police station and file a report?

Everybody is innocent until proven guilty.  Even the GCHQ agents.

Fwd: MICROSOFT CONTRACT (French Minister of Defense)

2021-01-10 Thread Debian Community News Team



 Forwarded Message 
Subject:MICROSOFT CONTRACT (French Minister of Defense)
Date:   Thu, 26 Oct 2017 21:36:00 +0200
From:   Alexis Fitzjean O Cobhthaigh 
To: t...@lists.fsfe.org, fra...@lists.fsfe.org



Dear all,

Thank you very much for the copy of the contract you sent me. It's very
enlightening. At Hugo's invitation I'm directly reaching out to you.

Here is what i think :

1) We should file a request to the CADA as soon as possible to try to
get the obliterated parts of the contract.

We should go fast on this one. It's pretty easy and I'll do it /pro
bono/. I'm not sure it would be very usefull, but it worth a try. This
should be filed within two months from the reception of the answer of
the ministry (could you confirm the date ?)

2) I think we'll have to file a case before the administrative tribunal
of Paris (_before monday october 30_).

There are two hazards :

- the first one is about the completion of the appropriate advertising
measures, in particular by means of a notice stating both the conclusion
of the contract and the provisions of its consultation in compliance
with the confidentiality protected by law. For now, I didn't see any of
those measures completed but it's possible I missed something. And, as
you know from my precedent message, the appeal must be exercised within
two months from the completion of thoses measures. As I didn't see any
of those measures completed, I think we would be ok, but I'm not 100 %
sure.

But, there might be a problem. As FSFE officialy asked the documents on
august 27, it would be possible that the minister claim that FSFE knew
about this contract, at least, on august 27 and therefor that FSFE
should have filed the suits within two months from this date. I'm not
sure the judge would agree on that but it's definitly what I would have
advise if I have been their legal counsel._*So, I think that to avoid
any risk, it's very important that the suit should be filed this monday
october 30 at the latest*_. I'm really sorry to tell you that only now,
I just thought about this. I'm very aware that you probably need more
time to reach a decision so, here is what I propose : we could file the
lawsuit as a precaution on monday and then withdraw it a week later if
you do not want to continue. I could work on this this week-end to have
something ready on monday. Let me know what you want to do.

- the second one is about standing. As I told you, I'm not sure FSFE
would have enough standing on it's on. It would be better if we could
have a competitor who "could have" been part of the conclusion of the
contract (it's also ok at the european level). This way, we could also
invoke irregularities about the failure of the contracting authority to
fulfil its publicity and competition obligations (that's why we need
someone who is likely to be adversely affected by such failures). But it
probably woth a try anyway, even if the FSFE is on its own.

For this part, I can lower my hourly fee to 125 before tax (150 tax
included). And, if we file the suit as a precaution and then you choose
to withdraw it a week later, I will bill nothing.

Let me know as soon as possible what you want me to do. You can call me
on my cellphone +33642754434 anytime.

Best,

Alexis

This week my child Paul Benjamin Kirschner was born. We are all fine and

Until 23 April I will be offline to spent time with my family.

I am very happy that the FSFE is in a state which enables me to take
this time off, knowing that all day to day operations will be performed
reliably by our volunteers and staffers. During that time some topics
will be on hold, and I will not follow-up any e-mail discussions. Heiki
and Patrick will decide if something is important enough to contact me.
In case you have issues to discuss which are not absolutely urgent, I
ask you to wait with bringing them up, until I am back again.

Thank you for enabling me to enjoy the birth of my child and fully
concentrate on my family for the next weeks.
All the best from a tired but exuberantly happy,

Fwd: diversity and expanding the GA

2021-01-06 Thread Debian Community News Team



 Forwarded Message 
Subject: Re: diversity and expanding the GA
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2017 10:51:58 +
From: Matthias Kirschner 
To: g...@fsfeurope.org

Dear GA members,

thank you all for raising your points in this thread. As Hugo pointed
out we repeatedly had that discussion, and also worked on some points.
Still there were some new ideas in the thread and from the Council we
suggest a few action items to make further progress. But first, so that
everybody is on the same page, some examples of existing activities on
that topic.

## Some examples of what we already do/did

* When we have pictures on our website we try to have equal wo/man on
 them. For example have a look at
 https://fsfe.org/campaigns/ilovefs/whylovefs/gallery.en.html (this
 year we had some additions, before IIRC the ratio was better).

* For the FSFE front page we asked women to provide quotes with picture:
 This worked for Amaelle. Other female contributors were also initially
 interested in providing a quote, but other constrains prevented them
 from doing so.
* At our events we encourage female speakers, as well as new speakers,
 and from different countries (e.g. LLW, but also at the summit).
 Although we have the same problem most conferences have, that is is
 really difficult to achieve that.

* For the Legal Network council we started by picking the same ratio
 with men as with women.

* For internships we meanwhile give preference to women. One reason is
 also because becoming intern is also increasing the chance to become
 an employment in the Free Software area.
 (https://fsfe.org/contribute/internship.en.html says "We want more
 women to be involved in Free Software. That's why we will give
 preference to applications from suitably qualified female
 candidates.")

* As with males we also encourage female interns to stay active in the
 FSFE after their internships:
 * We hired Polina after her internship
 * Nikos is currently talking with Olga about her becoming the Greek
   deputy coordinator.
 * With Lucile we have regular contact and invite her to meetings (she
   has very little time).
 * We work a lot with Eszter, who is now assistent of Julia Reda, but
   it might be difficult to include her further at the moment.  * Lusy
is at the moment organising a Free Software event and
   coordinating with Matthias.

* Staff was following-up with proposals from the past. For example
 Patrick Ohnewein before proposed Sonia Montegiove. Matthias had
 several talks with her and invited her to the FSFE summit. The problem
 is that she is quite shy when speaking English.* This year we had a
moderations workshop for our staff. Before it we
 clarified with the trainer that one of our goals is to enable our
 staff running more inclusive meetings. The workshop was documented in
 the wiki https://wiki.fsfe.org/Internal/Moderation (some permission
 problem at the moment, hope it is soon fixed).

## Next Steps

### In Progress

* Finish and implement Code of Conduct:
 * Continue with the CoC, implement it, also against some critism (Erik
   worked on it with Heiki, but as it should be valid for the whole
   organisation so we said it would be good that we do not have several
   CoCs in the FSFE but try to merge it with the LLW CoC).
 * help our groups to enforce it with a training about that topic next
   year (for the LLW Polina worked on a detailed guide what to keep in
   mind about that).

### Possible actions

* Discussion with Ulrike about the topic. She studied gender studies and
 is very interested in the topic) about the topic. Together with her
 identify strategies for more diversity inside the FSFE community and
 the GA, by  * having a budget for counselling on diversity (as several
people
   pointed out, just because someone is a women in IT, does not know
   they know about diversity).* have a time budget for Ulrike to
help on this issue next year.

* As some hesitate to just add women to the GA without first being
 involved in other areas, make it a priority to support already active
 or interested females (or other under represented groups).  * This
could include that we encourage them to join us in teams, and
   mentor them, or to invite them to events so we can meet them (could
   also include priority for travel funding in case we have to choose).

* GA participation:  * You might have realised that all our male
staffers are GA members,
   but none of our female staffers is. That is bad. We should encourage
   Polina and Ulrike to think about joining, too.
 * Depending on the outcome of the FSFE2020 discussion: if we enlarge
   the council (as the FSFE board) introduce a quote there (as Daniel
   proposed to have a second VP position, with a requirement that at
   least one of the VP positions must not be male.)
 * Depending on the Italian GA member's feedback, we could invite her
   as a guest to the next GA, or if they think it would be a good idea
   we can ask her to first become another

Here are the questions:

- how much money has gone to lawyers for staff disputes when Georg Greve

- how much money has gone to lawyers for staff disputes under the rule
of Matthias Kirschner?

- how many staff have made complaints against Greve?

- how many staff have made complaints against Kirschner?

That is very easy to answer: they would have to allow everybody to have
an equal vote

Right now, both the FSFE and OSI refuses to register people as voting
members.  If we are not members then they have no credibility when they
claim to speak for us.

If people vote for them then they have a mandate and they can make policies

If they implement their policies by blackmailing people and spreading
defamation then they are gangsters and frauds.

There is another fundamental problem

Some people, like Matthias Kirschner and Molly de Blanc, are not
developers.  They can not do any technical work.  There are some people
like this in both FSFE and Debian, they have titles, like President in
FSFE or "non-uploading Debian Developer", these are titles for imposters
and girlfriends.

Their participation in free software is solely to get money and power
over other people.

To have some minimum consensus implies that these people have to give up
some of their power or go away completely.  Every time they feel there
is a threat to their power, they attack somebody, like the attacks on
the women and the attacks on the last fellowship representative

The women were smarter than Kirschner: so he had to sack them and spread
rumours about them to make himself look bigger and make them look
smaller.  That is how weak and cowardly men behave.  Kirschner is weak
and he is a coward.

Try to imagine Matthias Kirschner or Molly de Blanc leaving the FSFE and
the OSI and other free software groups and going to another industry.
For example, imagine they go to the medical industry and they ask to be
President of the association for doctors.  They are not developers, they
are not doctors, but they ask to have these titles.  Would the doctors
appoint Matthias Kirschner or Molly de Blanc as their President?  Or
would they immediately reject them as imposters?

Having run a full marathon (26.2 miles) before lunch, we don't feel that

If GCHQ are doing their job well, nobody could ever prove the extent to
which they infiltrated Debian.

Out of respect for the GCHQ agents, we have no doubt they could fool the
misfits in DAM if they really wanted to.

If we had a choice between having lunch with the boss of GCHQ and a DAM,
we would choose GCHQ any day.

FSFE forked the list in 2018 when they had a general meeting to remove
the Fellowship from their constitution.

Forking a list is not the same as subscribing people without consent.

Many people did choose to subscribe after the list became independent,
another wave of subscribers joined after censorship of RMS and more
people joined after the Linux Australia censorship problems began.

b) The huge effort to have Reproducible Builds, while making no effort

If you care about their best interests, is it better for them to have
publicity in Debian Community News or to have a serious trial in a
serious court?

We wouldn't let lawyers come into Debian and mess with the code so why
is it that developers want to mess around pretending to be lawyers

If there are real victims out there, their voices are diluted by the

How can Debian claim to have a principled position on abuse when the
case against Daniel Lange wasn't considered in the same way as the case

We didn't witness the Daniel Lange incident so we don't know if it is
true.  The email is there to help people see the contrast with the Jacob
Appelbaum case: the two cases both handled in the same period of time, 6
days apart.  Are you saying the email has been tampered with or you
confirm you have the same email in your debian-private mailbox?

If the jacobappelbaum.net rape story is true, if there was an audience,
who are those people?

Is that why nobody wants to talk to the police, all these people would
be questioned?

The police would want to know why other people didn't stop the attack.

Police would search their devices.

For the story to be true, there are multiple people who may have
committed crimes.  Why isn't there a web site for each of them?

Please see the earlier email: if those people sign witness statements,
Debian Community News would publish them.

There are many genuine cases, like Harvey Weinstein and there are also
many cases where people are set up, like DSK[1].  That is why it is so
important for an independent investigator to check all these claims.

If you are making these strong statements on behalf of a friend, then
they are very lucky to have you as a friend but it also means you are
not impartial.  Nobody in the free software community is impartial in a
case like this.

You still haven't commented on the difference in how Debian handled the
Appelbaum complaints and the way a Daniel Lange complaint was ignored
because he does DebConf work.  Herr Lange, like Herr Appelbaum, is
innocent until proven guilty of course.

If anybody wishes to sign a witness statement in front of a notary and
post it on the mailing list it will be most welcome.

Debian Community News is impartial and welcomes all sides of the story.

Back to Daniel Lange: the report of aggression was sent to
debian-private just 6 days after Jacob Appelbaum was expelled.

Justice has to be equal and consistent for every volunteer.  Otherwise,
it is not justice.

The Debian Account Managers do not need to say Jake is innocent: they
only have to say "it is not our job, this is a matter for the police"

Hi all,

I've supported a few applications in the newmaint list and I never objected
one. With Daniel Lange's declaration of intent I feel for the first time the
need to publically do some considerations, but I don't know the best way
to proceed.
I'd like to make it clear that his behavior in some situations in the past
are not welcome in Debian. At the same time I don't want to start a noisy
thread in there.

I witnessed aggressive and disrespectful behavior from Daniel against a
person
very close to me, both written and in person, during Debconf15. As he
was not a
member/whatever of the Debian community I decided to let it go. Besides
that, I
think he was quite harmful during the storm against the Debconf chairs.
But it
may be more a personal opinion.

I'm aware that he's doing a lot of work for Debconf and I'm not objecting to
his application. But I'll just feel bad if I say nothing at this time.

Any suggestion on how to act will be appreciate on such situations.

Matthew, when you post an email like that without evidence it is hearsay
and defamation.

Look at the difference between these statements:

"My friend told me about Jake"

"Julian Assange was summoned for questioning about allegations.  The
investigation was dropped."

One statement is hearsay, the other is fact.

The ball is in the court of the accusers.  Until they visit a police
station, Jake is innocent until proven guilty, like every other man.

But if you think such allegations are so credible, why was the Daniel
Lange accusation not given the same credibility?

Thank you for your feedback.  This mailing list welcomes multiple opinions.

Can a blog be stupid and true at the same time?

We are happy to be stupid if it helps people use the opportunity to
understand what TOTALITARIANISM really means.

Fact: Fellows were never allowed to nominate for president or attend the
annual meeting of FSFE.  Is that more like democracy or dictatorship?

Even if it is stupid, which point from the blog is /not/ based on fact?

- Gemlich letter (1919) and FSFE minutes (2019) both spread defamation

- Nazis stole artworks, FSFE are stealing RMS's trademark (see below,
"the framework agreement, as it stands, is not being honored from
any side")

- Nazis and FSFE claim and pretends to speak for all Europe

- Nazis and FSFE both cancelled elections

- Nazis and FSFE both censored political opponents

- Nazis and FSFE both made experiments on people (look at how they
brainwashed somebody after 34C3, more details to come)

- when Nazis and FSFE can't control somebody, they try to make them
completely disappear


Nobody says that FSFE == Nazi Party.  This is just a feature comparison
that is disturbingly accurate.

Date: Tue, 30 May 2017 15:31:39 +0200
From: Jonas Oberg 
To: Bernhard Reiter 
CC: g...@fsfeurope.org

Hi Bernhard,

I largely agree with you, but I would like to ask for a clarification on
this part:

> I don't see why. We should ask them to establish the agreed cooperation.

If I take an honest look at the framework agreement, I believe it's
phrased rather favourable towards the FSF, and a lot of what we would
like to see -- such as joint decision making on important issues related
to Free Software -- isn't actually in the agreement aside from an intent
to develop such a way in some hypothetical future.

And I can truly see why the FSF believes we are in violation of the
agreement, at least on parts. Our work on the Radio Directive and other
policy work I believe is an example of work that according to the
agreement should be carried out by the FSF, and not the FSFE.

Our work on standards for cloud services is close to what's reserved for
the FSF. On the other part, there are a number of activities envisioned
from the FSFE which we don't do, or never did: operate the GNU Business
Network, develop new free software, translate FSF position papers,
recruit more volunteers for the GNU project, resell FSF merchandise,
and so on.

So the framework agreement, as it stands, is not being honored from
any side. What I understand from you is that you think we can push
more on this:

   We intend, in the
   future, after we have gained experience working together, to develop a
   system wherein these decisions are approved jointly by a specific list
   of several major FSFs.

Essentially, our message could be that now, after 15 years, we have the
experience of working together. It's not been a pleasurable experience,
but we now know what the current tensions and activities are, which makes
this a good time to now negotiate what such a system for join decision
making would look like.

Is that close to what you intend?

cult-like abuse analysis in Debian, FSFE

2020-08-07 Thread Debian Community News Team


This article gives an insight into how Debian (also FSFE) are operating
much more like a cult than an organization of professionals:

https://debian.community/debian-chris-lamb-nxivm-sex-cult-prosecution/

Debian Developers may be volunteers but Debian's lawyers are being paid
to fight against the GDPR.  Did people expect their money would be used
like this when they gave this money to Debian?

One impact of this is that people should not give money to any of these
big organizations any more.  If you do want to give money to free
software, please give it directly to developers working on projects you
use.  The lawyers, FSFE staff and similar have become parasites.
