●● IBM is Killing Fedora (While It is Promoting Microsoft’s Proprietary Junk)

Posted in IBM, Red Hat at 6:53 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

This was published this week (it’s in Daily Links already but merits more attention)

Image: As part of the same process outlined in Matthias Clasen's 'LibreOffice packages' email, my management chain has made the decision to stop all upstream and downstream work on desktop Bluetooth, multimedia applications (namely totem, rhythmbox and sound-juicer) and libfprint/fprintd. The rest of my upstream and downstream work will be reassigned depending on Red Hat's own priorities (see below), as I am transferred to another team that deals with one of a list of Red Hat’s priority projects.

Summary: While carrying water for Microsoft IBM/Red Hat is tactlessly and shamelessly abandoning the Free software community, especially on the desktop. It does this while moreover outsourcing new source code to Microsoft's proprietary prison and besieging real communities, even defaming their leaders. IBM is not an ally. It’s a greedy, dumb company. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) needs to talk about this.
