Re: Immigration ban
What would be helpful is to start drafting proposed language for the Board to consider. That way, they have something to look at and can edit it further if they vote to make a statement on behalf of the Foundation. I've started an etherpad so we can collaborate: https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/GNOME_immigration_ban_statement Please add to it! Feel free to create a new version, or just edit/build upon what others have.

But I wanted to bring it up.

Re: Immigration ban
I think this is more of a question for the Board, since the statement would have to be from the GNOME Foundation. I actually already put it on our Board agenda for tomorrow, but let me know if you think that it's not something for the Board to get involved with.

Immigration ban
The Linux Foundation sent out a press release against the immigration ban. I think we should also follow suit and also craft something that talks about our inclusiveness. https://www.linux.com/blog/linux-foundation-executive-directors-statement-immigration-ban ___ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
