I don't understand what the point is, even though I could guess a few things, perhaps damage to the community caused by LLMs and those who are willing to use them. I don't think it's proper for osgeo as a group (or any other group that isn't specifically constituted as politcal activism) to cross into politics other than what directly bears on osgeo's work (e.g. non-open data from governments, LLM-caused problems in the osgeo world). I don't follow asking people to approve a general strike for no stated reason with reasons to be provided later, that they might or might not want to sign onto. Overall, I feel like I must be missing some context. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
