Union Syndicale Fédérale Cautions the EPO's Administrative Council About Initiating an Illegal Kangaroo Court System for Patents (UPC) While EPO Breaks Laws and Sponsors the Ukraine Invasion Union Syndicale Fédérale (USF) is once again speaking out in support of the staff union of Europe's second-largest institution, which lacks oversight and governance because of profound corruption and regulatory capture Investigation Underway: Sirius 'Open Source' Embezzled/Stole Money, Robbed Its Own Staff In light of new developments and some progress in an investigation of Sirius ‘Open Source’ (for fraud!) we take stock of where things stand [Meme] Sirius 'Open Source' Pensions: Schemes or Scams? Giving a Bad Name to Open Source... What Sirius ‘Open Source’ did to its staff is rightly treated as a criminal matter; we know who the perpetrators are Sirius 'Open Source' Under Investigation for Pension Fraud, Several Pension Providers Examine the Facts 2 pension providers are looking into Sirius ‘Open Source’, a company that defrauded its own staff; stay tuned as there’s lots more to come. Is this good representation for “Open Source”? From a company that had many high-profile clients in the public sector?

When even low-paid (much lower salaries) staff is discarded it means things are very gloomy. Links 22/03/2023: GNOME 44 “Kuala Lumpur” Links for the day Microsoft Has Also Infiltrated the OSI's Board of Directors After Rigged Elections Weeks ago we warned that this would happen and for the third or fourth time in 2 years the OSI’s election process broke down; today the Open Source Initiative (OSI) writes: “The polls just closed, the results are in.

There are several more people here who say the same. How much noise will Microsoft make in the “media” in order to distract? Will the chaffbot "ChatGPT" help create enough chaff?
