Linux Foundation is associated with a lot of waste and fraud. It now charges $150,000 for membership, i.e. it prices individuals and small businesses out of reach. It's still based in one of the country's and perhaps the world's most expensive office estates/spaces (after moving there years ago to burn money faster). It might be safer for the Microsoft-funded Sheela Zemlin, who is a fugitive from the law (she had defrauded many people [1, 2, 3] and there's a class action lawsuit for securities fraud).
Summary: The Linux [sic] Foundation's tax filings (divulged by the Nonprofit Explorer) show that it now pays "CHRIS ANISZCZYK" and "JAMES ZEMLIN" more than it pays "LINUS TORVALDS", sans bonuses. Torvalds fell to third place already. Mr. Zemlin pays himself over $1.2 million a year. He doesn't even use Linux. He lacks credentials and accomplishments (except for selling out to companies like Microsoft), but he keeps pandering to power and money (Bill Gates). It should be noted that the Torvalds bonus was added only after backlash had erupted.
In the domain of Free software, there are very few sites out there that offer exclusive coverage on community affairs and there are many gagging/censorship attempts
EPO workers are going on strike because their salaries don't keep up with price increases and tech companies without connections in "the channel" face long delays, low availability, and high prices (no "bulk" purchases), which further solidifies monopolies.
It would make sense for the EU to invest in its own workers and its own software projects, more so now that there are hostile countries both to the east and to the west
The Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH) has this new paper about Willis Towers Watson (WTW) and its annual EPO-sponsored propaganda, pretending all is well when things are clearly dire
Why does Europe's second-largest institution: 1) curtail communication among staff (including union) and 2) go out of its way to avoid obeying a court order from ILOAT in Geneva?
