It looks like Drew DeVault came out of hiding and announced his intention to start a sit-in during Jack Dorsey's event at FOSDEM. Sure Dorsey most likely doesn't have our best interests in the FOSS community, but I don't know why he simply doesn't just advocate boycotting the event or the entire convention. You guys were already suggesting that with an event by the president of the OpenMandriva Association after Bryan Lunduke promoted him.

But I rather have these guys do the sit-in if it means that they will forget about the OpenMandriva drama and leave the foundation's president alone.

@xianc78@gameliberty.club Idk why Drew would even bother attending. It's not like there will be any little girls there, which we all know he cares about more than free software

@bonkmaykr I think he attends there every year. It's the biggest FOSS convention in Europe as far as I know, but it was always open-source first, free software second. It was originally called OSDEM until Stallman asked them to change it. They always included "ethically questionable" companies like RedHat and Element in the convention.

If this was really a problem for him he would go to actual free software conventions like Libre Planet, but that is hosted in America, the country that he left because he hates it so much, and it's hosted by the evil Richard Stallman.
