    Multiple things:

    • get rid of mandatory mailinglists
    • use a modern git flow without emails
    • get the hell off of discord
    • don’t make me a “maintainer”. I write code, I love it. Don’t Peter Principle me
    • pay me if I’m supposed to care

    The goddamn Linux Foundation is investing more into AI than friggin Linux. They could be hiring hundreds of staff to work on Linux with the billions they shove unto AI. What the fuck are they doing? Mozilla is another offender.

    Open source foundations with money should be using it to develop open source.

    Also, on greybeard conferences: allow virtual participation please? My company isn’t going to give me 4 days off to travel somewhere for one day, have a 2 day conference, then take another day to get back. Nor am I going to pay 200+€ or something as an entrance fee on top of my ticket halfway around the world.

      Ironically, I think it’s the younger ones the ones pushing for discord the most. Some projects opened a discord because it actually made it more attractive to young people.

      The question is how to make an open source alternative more attractive.
