Thu 09:55:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Both executives, whose names and positions were redacted in the filing, have since left IBM. Other documents referred to the company’s “dated maternal workforce” and called for IBM to “shift headcount mix towards greater percent of early professional hires.”

Fri 14:51:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ""
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Former Debian Project Leader, G. Branden Robinson, has officially resigned from the Debian project.
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] This follows actions taken, by the Debian Community Team, to silence Robinson's communications and critiques of the project.
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Robinson's request for an appeal of those Debian Community Team actions was rejected by Andreas Tille, the current Debian Project Leader, saying, "The Community Team has acted within its mandate, and I
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] support its actions."
Fri 14:51:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] After this rejection, Robinson resigned from the project entirely, stating, "I feel that the Community Team has acted toward me with hostility and a lack of collegiality unbecoming to delegates of the Debian Project Leader.""
Fri 14:54:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Very important to cover, this is the Debian Project shooting even its former leaders, which is insane
