@bragefuglseth @jsparber can't wait for the #ColdNorthGNOMEMeetup ;)
Also I wish that one day the #gnomefoundation can (partly) sponsor travel costs also to these small events, at least for low-income or no-income participants (like students, I wonder if we should organise better, I feel like sometimes we could defend our interests/situation better together)

Did anybody else notice that Flatpak emptied the contents of their Open Collective and appear to have given it all to the Gnome Foundation ? Did I miss some news post about this somewhere ? Seems a little odd to me.

Notice how at no point (AFAIK) the #gnomefoundation i.e. #ibm et al, said that it opposes #swpats

IBM not only supports software #patents but aggressively lobbies FOR them. In EU, US, India... @zoobab
