If the OpenBSD Foundation want to avoid 'party political' - sure,
understandable. But 'anything' political? Impossible.
Good luck with the project, Gwen.

The fact something is not partisan does not mean it is apolitical. In
fact, as of late, I am seeing a lot of non-partisan political activism.
Most of the times you dig a bit underneath and it turns the non-partisan
activism actually has partisan ties. Who would have thought.
In my opinion, a gay event has the same political weight a Muslim event
or a Christian event has. I'd argue there is a lot of Muslim and
Christian political activity which is not partisan either, but only
people with an agenda would argue they have no political goals.
Besides, even if a particular group is not activist in nature, showing
support to it is in itself a political action.
Honestly I am a bit pissed off because we are discussing this subject
which does not mean anything for the project and meanwhile we have
unattended port submissions timing out in ports@.
