I've long been in the "reform GNU" camp and Deb and I have actively tried to make GNU a different, more welcoming place with MediaGoblin. More to say on that later. Anyway, I hope, but I suppose we will find out, whether or not that's true. I hope that if we decided to take such a step in MediaGoblin to do something to make the community more welcoming, that would be respected.

BTW I think this post really summarizes things nicely: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-05/msg00291.html

@cwebber

in another toot about that joke, I wrote: "I might be shortsighted, but I don't see how that joke could be offensive to anyone"

I was shortsighted.

"It’s a serious matter, literally life-or-death in
some circumstances, but it is always life-changing."

well, yes, of course !
I was very shortsighted !

I'm sorry and I apologize to any woman who has read my toot.
