Dear fellows,
Conflict like this doesn't erupt spontaneously. Daniel isn't even a candidate but people are attacking him. They talk about respecting the Code of conduct in one sentence and break it in the next. He promised a smooth transition for the new council, I can't see any way that he profits from helping run the election, why can't people just say thank you and move on? Both Daniel and Armijn have described thuggish behavior from FSFE bosses. Now we see it for ourselves. I came across this quote from Georg Greve on the fsfellowship site: "The Fellowship is an activity of FSFE, and indeed one of the primary ways to get involved in the organisation. It is a place for community action, collaboration, communication, fun, and recruitment that also helps fund the other activities of FSFE, for example, the political work." Moving the list to get around censorship appears to be a good example of that 'community action', activism and political work. That is what political action looks like. It was effective. Now everybody knows there is censorship in FSFE. We didn't know before and now we do. It shouldn't be happening. If only more FSFE actions could get their point across so clearly. That's activism, isn't that what we signed up for? People can learn from somebody like Daniel. I can't see any harm that can come about by having a fellowship council but I can see many benefits this council will have for free software. So I hereby nominate. Yours, Ingrid _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
