@stolas Glad you asked! Here's a (mostly complete) writeup https://github.com/cwebber/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/petnames/draft-documents/petnames.md

It bums me out when I see project leaders applying "stop energy" towards other projects in the fediverse space by taking potshots at them when energy to develop and get far enough on the fediverse is so scarce. We do better by supporting each other and engaging in dialogue.

I'd like to welcome @nightpool as co-chair of the W3C Social Web Community Group, along with myself and @aaronpk!

It's been obvious that we needed more help for some time. @nightpool has consistently been a positive participant in the group and I'm happy to have them help us in community organization and governance.

RMS pulls a serious power move (read: dick move), unilaterally appointing a maintainer to Guile without consulting the other co-maintainers or community, because the current co-maintainers disagree with him on governance https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2019-10/msg00005.html

True

A colleague showed this Untitled Goose Game-inspired poem to us (made by his wife)

how some stupid blog post of mine is on the front page of HN right now when EVERY IPHONE BOOTLOADER GOT CRACKED TODAY is not, I will never understand
