It is interesting to me to watch @bkuhn struggle with OSI forcing directors to use proprietary software. I'm more of a pragmatist in my use of non-Free software than Bradley, but I strongly believe organisations that are intended to champion it should be setting a good example. A move towards proprietary infrastructure is one of the reasons I stopped being involved in Software in the Public Interest.

@noodles @bkuhn ouch. Do you have a link to this? We had similar debates in Fedora over the past few years (luckily resolved in favor of keeping the infra open source)

Thanks @michelin for request of “do you have a link?” for Initiative 2025 Board of Directors elections situation. It inspired me to put together in-order links that tell the story until now:

Like any fast-moving situation, feels like longer than it's been.
