@jonringer:matrix.org	Jon, where you work is something people can easily find out, because you published it to LinkedIn. Although true, it also implies investigation into my life beyond the Nix ecosystem. And asking to become board observer while at the same time leading a discussion on gender minority representation in the sponsorship selection committee was bound to generate that kind of reaction. I don't think there's a voice for "keep Nix about technology" portion of the community. And Ron did ask to focus on the bigger picture, instead of picking out individual comments, which you yourself decided to disregard. I did frame it the larger picture in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/objection-to-explicit-gender-minority-preference-in-nixos-sponsorship-policy/42968 having seats for groups that are not “first priority is the success of Nix”, but rather “first priority is the success of your faction” is a mis-aligned incentive model for a software project.	13:13:41
@jonringer:matrix.org	To avoid bringing down this channel, I'll move any further commentary to discourse	13:14:31
@delroth:delroth.net	I don't think there's a voice for "keep Nix about technology" portion of the community. You don't get to claim that when you're 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.	13:20:53
@delroth:delroth.net	* I don't think there's a voice for "keep Nix about technology" portion of the community. 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
hexa	I don't think there's a voice for "keep Nix about technology" portion of the community. It is my impression that we have these kinds of voice in the foundation board already	13:21:05

@patka_123:matrix.org	(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
@jonringer:matrix.org	It is my impression that we have these kinds of voices in the foundation board already Yes, but it's creating a "board vs community" narrative. E.g. Everyone was very happy not having to deal with this until it was forced onto the community.	13:25:25
@delroth:delroth.net	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
