I was on the board 1999-2001 or so? RMS had me removed, as I did a mix of open source and proprietary work. The FSF board is effectively appointed by RMS.

Lol, a (now former) board member once said I was defaming FSF by making that same statement on a private mailing list.

At least when I was there, the board was a formality; All the control was rms

I was attacked on the basis that, by saying RMS handpicked the board, I was alleging that the board was illegally out of compliance with their fiduciary obligations. Which hadn’t been my intent (I was just documenting various FOSS board processes), but, uh… sure sounds like it!

I still think gnome has a better process for the board. The members elect the board. That is just non existent over there.

There’s some genuinely hard challenges around that, and it really wouldn’t have made much sense in the 80s. But a real community-centered org would have figured out how to handle that and, uh, again… that’s just not what FSF is.

I mildly regret that, when GNOME told RMS that his GNU title did make him GNOME dictator (after your time?), we didn’t ask around to see if other GNU projects might want to join us in that.

still not sure why https://www.gnu.org/software/ still lists gnome as if it's theirs to claim (that's a lie, i'm pretty sure i know why)

Wikipedia uses that page to claim that "
@gnome is part of the GNU Project" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME?oldformat=true … If that's false, it would be great to have it clarified there. I'm angry the FSF gets away with this.2 erantzun 0 bertxio 6 atsegin
I asked (as ED for @GNOME) GNU to remove us from that page multiple times. They have refused to do so.

Well, I'm taking 18 months of silence and ignoring multiple requests to be a refusal anyway.

Perhaps a more forceful action is now required. In general, we have always asserted our independence from GNU/FSF as a separate entity - quite proudly I might add.
