I would like to ask those "GNU maintainers" who are pretending to represent "all of GNU" to step down from the GNU project, and move their activities out. Software that is usable can be forked and continued without worries. I recommend this reading to everybody who has logical sense and will to research what has been said and why all that came: https://geoff.greer.fm/2019/09/30/in-defense-of-richard-stallman/ > But I get surprise to not find any mail to ask to anyone about this, > There is not a vote. In my opinion, projects that are driven by intention, authority for reasons of being right like RMS, such projects need no democracy voting. A group will always vote out sooner or later the one who is in authority with the hidden hopes to get their own positions. Positions in GNU shall be given by their loyalty to GNU principles, one of those principles was to be friendly in community and forward free software. How such biased and generalized defamation againt RMS can be considered friendly? It is not, it is hatred and that is not the community envisioned by GNU manifesto. I am asking thus Ludovic Courtès, Ricardo Wurmus, Matt Lee, Andreas Enge, Samuel Thibault, Carlos O'Donell, Andy Wingo, Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso, Mark Wielaard, Ian Lance Taylor, Werner Koch, Daiki Ueno, Christopher Lemmer Webber, Jan Nieuwenhuizen, John Wiegley, Tom Tromey, Jeff Law, Han-Wen Nienhuys, Joshua Gay, Ian Jackson, Tobias Geerinckx-Rice, Andrej Shadura, Zack Weinberg and John W. Eaton who issued their disgraceful defamation and slander on RMS to step down, resign from GNU project and when I say "GNU" I mean exclusively that on GNU.ORG and sponsored by GNU.ORG and not the broader group of fans, free software supporters or similar. Person with the integrity would never do that damage what they have done with their statement on: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ So please people, RESIGN, and get your opinions straight but OUTSIDE of the GNU.ORG domain. > Someone just think in that way and use the site to show the Guix > community is against Stallman as a representation of GNU. The fact > in here is there is not public discussion about this. And seems it > will never gonna happen. That is exactly what is now going on. Various websites are reflecting their statement in the sense that all GNU maintainers are defaming and slandering RMS, which is not true. In the sense that those few people are representing "all of the GNU". > Why? Maybe the person who do this is afraid of not being able to > impose his point of view to the community.
