Debian, as an organization, has a public image that reflects the sentiments of the people who make up that organization. Those people have begun slandering the Jewish state. Debian is not conscious and can not support or oppose anything. The people who compose of the organization are conscious, and have declared their stance.

Hi, As this question had been asked twice I had uploaded a screenshot https://ibb.co/hFcPrvB[1] of that action. In order to see that on his page one need to scroll a bit down , The text start with "Israel just bombed a tent city full of #refugees[1] who fled North #Gaza[2] for #Rafah[3] on the #IDF[4]'s orders. Horrifying photos show families frantically rummaging through the carnage for the limbs of their family members. I won't reproduce them here, but they can be found on the bird site from @gazanotifications" and you would need to click on "show more" The direct link to the message is https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/AenLD9Ez2JCrSfrCsK[2] , however it would forward you directly to the original writer (highvoltage shared it but did not write it himself). if you would scroll inside https://functional.cafe/@rml/111916398704166807/reblogs[3] you would see highvoltage@pleroma.debian.social highvoltage @highvoltage@pleroma.debian.social 446 Followers screenshot at https://ibb.co/HrSxsRP[4] Which show that he shared that message.

Re: Are there any implication of using or supporting Debian now that the Project Leader shared a call for BDS on debian.social ?
IANAL, but the Israeli law is rather inimical to BDS and its derivates. I am not even going to consider what is the drift outside Israel, aince whatever the status is now, it will likely change significantly in the coming months (and not, I suspect, in Israel's favour). What the Israeli law do with people making use of products "tainted" with BDS opinions, I have no opinion. Given, however, the general Israeli propensity for sippenhaft, I would consult with a lawyer before making use of Debian in future projects and activities. 3 Mar 2024 10:44:50 borissh1...@gmail.com: > Hi, > > While it is nice and fun to have a political discussion on how much the > debian leader is wrong, and how it hurts FOSS in general. > > I'm asking, if we as people who work with debian or contribute to it would > have a problem now in IL , US or DE. > > I for example train new developers and it guys on Debian, provide services > that use debian as the main OS, and even have done some work that > auto-package software to run on Debian, given this announcements, it is not > clear for me if I'm even it is safe to still do it now. > > On Sunday, 3 March 2024 10:11:06 IST Marc Volovic (me) wrote: >> i suggest not starting down the route of the "who did more to whom" >> measuring.

Re: Are there any implication of using or supporting Debian now that the Project Leader shared a call for BDS on debian.social ?
Hi, While it is nice and fun to have a political discussion on how much the debian leader is wrong, and how it hurts FOSS in general. I'm asking, if we as people who work with debian or contribute to it would have a problem now in IL , US or DE. I for example train new developers and it guys on Debian, provide services that use debian as the main OS, and even have done some work that auto-package software to run on Debian, given this announcements, it is not clear for me if I'm even it is safe to still do it now.

Re: Are there any implication of using or supporting Debian now that the Project Leader shared a call for BDS on debian.social ?
i suggest not starting down the route of the "who did more to whom" measuring. This is a yardstick measurement comoetitio that Israel will not win, by any type of measurement. The "right" response would be a protest for bringing political discourse into the technical sphere (if this is indeed a technical sphere, something not certain) or ignoring the rise.

Re: Are there any implication of using or supporting Debian now that the Project Leader shared a call for BDS on debian.social ?
OOPS, my mistake. In this case, I suggest: 1. Check if any Debian Developers (Israeli or non-Israeli) were killed by the Hamas on Oct. 7th. If yes, call for impeachment of Highvoltage on grounds of his betrayal of some Debian Developers. 2 Call out Highvoltage's ignoring of the atrocities advocated by Hamas against Israel.

Re: Are there any implication of using or supporting Debian now that the Project Leader shared a call for BDS on debian.social ?
I looked around the links and some Debian information. I found no indication that the guy has any leadership role in Debian. He describes himself as "pro-Palestine, pro-Black, pro-Indigenous, pro- Queer, pro-létarian". Seems to me that someone, who is so busy with those identities, would not have much time for real technical work. I believe that the proper course of action is to complain against his ignoring (if he did ignore - I did not read carefully) the 1200 Israelis mutilated and murdered by Hamas as well as the Hamas Charter, and then just ignore him and do not let him affect our Debian related work. --- Omer Zak On Sat, 2024-03-02 at 21:21 +0200, borissh1...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > A bit clueless question , but are there any legal implication of > using or supporting Debian now that the Debian Project Leader shared > a call for BDS ? > > The Debian Project Leader (highvoltage) had "repeated" (shared?) a > call for BDS on the debian social site ( > https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/AenLD9Ez2JCrSfrCsK) that can be > seen on his admin account at > https://pleroma.debian.social/highvoltage (one would need to scroll > down to see this message). -- "Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man.

Hi, A bit clueless question , but are there any legal implication of using or supporting Debian now that the Debian Project Leader shared a call for BDS ? The Debian Project Leader (highvoltage) had "repeated" (shared?) a call for BDS on the debian social site (https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/AenLD9Ez2JCrSfrCsK[1]) that can be seen on his admin account at https://pleroma.debian.social/highvoltage[2] (one would need to scroll down to see this message). Legally, do we have a problem to train developers on using debian , provide services that install Debian, ti package a proprietary code to run on Debian or even just contribute to Debian after the call by the admin on debian.social ? or because it was not listed on https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/[3] we should be safe ? The site where it was shared is debian.social which had been described as "The Debian social team aims to run a few services under the debian.social domain.
