So far I know she is nobody in Debian Project at this [07:01] schestowitz time, neither was she something special, but she writes she is.

[07:01] schestowitz I see there conflict of interests, as FSF does not endorse Debian, but [07:01] schestowitz Debian developer works in FSF, is not quite straight. [07:03] schestowitz Pocock (not quote above) said this to somebody: [07:03] schestowitz "Her Debian Developer title was granted to her when she was dating Chris [07:03] schestowitz Lamb. He was the Debian Project Leader. He gave her the title and he [07:03] schestowitz gave her Debian's formal endorsement to be the candidate for the OSI [07:03] schestowitz board. This helped her become OSI president. [07:03] schestowitz "She seems to have influence using personal connections in some [07:03] schestowitz organizations, for example, I think she is involved in censoring my [07:03] schestowitz email address from the LibrePlanet and GNU mailing lists. Now I have to [07:03] schestowitz CC people every time I send a message." [07:03] schestowitz My source is actually people in GNU [07:03] schestowitz they're really unhappy about the hate letter [07:04] schestowitz Pocock said to one of them: [07:04] schestowitz "It is important to put it in terms that professional women respect, for example "she had romantic conflicts of interest" [07:04] schestowitz "If people think it is a debate about her love life or her body then they [07:04] schestowitz will have sympathy for her.

It is the highest result of an industrial action since 2016 and a clear signal to the President that there is room for improvement in terms of social peace. [23:02] schestowitz In the January 2021 salary slip, the Office deducted 1/20th of a monthlys salary for a whole day of strike (instead of 1/30th) or 1/40th for half a day of strike (instead of 1/60th). The excessive strike deductions are already the subject of complaints which are pending in front of the Tribunal. [23:02] schestowitz In an open letter to Mr Campinos on 28 January 2021, SUEPO has requested a confirmation that the outcome of the judgment will apply to all staff who went on strike since the new strike regulations were put in place, namely since 1 July 2013. In his reply of 24 February 2021, Mr Campinos wrote that the Office considers it not opportune to make any commitment at this stage and prefers to await the Tribunals judgements on the [23:02] schestowitz pending cases. [23:02] schestowitz Therefore, in order to safeguard their rights, affected staff members must challenge the excessive strike deductions by filing a request for review at the latest on 25 April 2021 as follows: [23:02] schestowitz Fill in the Word template with your personal data and date on the first page and your signature on the last page, [23:02] schestowitz Convert the filled in RfR into a PDF, [23:02] schestowitz Retrieve your salary slip of January 2021 from MyFips (MyFips -> Salaries and Allowances -> Salary slip) [23:02] schestowitz Send your filled in RfR PDF together with your salary slip by email AND the annex CA/D 5/13 with request for acknowledgment of receipt to managementreview@epo.org [23:02] schestowitz Please keep a copy of the email you sent and of the PDFs in your paper archives and electronic archives. These documents will be necessary later for filing an internal appeal and for filing a complaint in front of ILOAT. [23:02] schestowitz A decision from the President is then due two months after filing the request for review. In case of a rejection, you will then have three months to file an internal appeal.
