You don't get to claim that when you're also complaining you can't bring politics (military sponsorships) into the project. Everyone was very happy not having to deal with this until it was forced onto the community. | 13:21:03 |

It is my impression that we have these kinds of voice in the foundation board already | 13:21:05 |

 patka | (Although I find this interpretation of doxing debatable, considering nothing is private, I simply heard it from someone else and was sufficiently annoyed. No investigation or crusade ever took place. I apologized privately, talked with the mods and asked them to remove the post. Using this as some sort of defense, is disingenious at best) | 13:23:56 |

Yes, but it's creating a "board vs community" narrative. E.g.

| delroth | Yes, the whole problem is that the board took a politically loaded action by accepting an Anduril sponsorship. A board focused on "keeping Nix about technology" would have easily seen the loss of community trust and contributors that such a politically loaded action would lead to and taken the neutral stance of rejecting a political sponsor. | 13:28:03 |

The discussions never were about that. The foundation already was about "keep Nix about technology". The foundation was so strongly only about that, that it was not equipped with the means to react to a problematic situation where a clash in values of the community would happen. What happened is that, at first through inaction, the foundation signalled that it was fine with values that are controversial. The Foundation AFAIUI exists for the sole purpose of being a solid bedrock for the Nix project and its ecosystem to live and prosper. With the past events, trust in the ability of the board members was breached, twice. And I have yet to read and reason about the last 12 hours of happenings. So, saying at this point in time that this is all about keeping it about the Nix technology is a moot point: keeping the current status quo means that weapons manufacturers are a-okay. The status quo has been moved already. | 17:28:48 |
 ronef | Side FYI - This is the one day a quarter I'm fully out so apologies for either being slow or non responsive. It's part of a course/fellowship I've been taking on this topic called "touchy feely" around building relationships, trust, community through vulnerability, communications, openness and a bunch of other things. I'm super happy to share anything about this if anyone is interested <3 | 18:08:19 |
