[17:43] schestowitz[TR2] According to the GNOME Release Calendar, two of the most prominent release managers (responsible for some of the most significant releases) are: [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) - A registered sex offender who, according to reports, was responsible for thousands of assaults of small children. [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] Jordan Petridis (alatiera) - A man who attacks Jews, on the official GNOME website, as apartheid, ethnosupremacist, babykillers and fascist maggots. [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] Both men have also defaced the source control repositories and wiki pages of competing open source projects, calling those they disagree with Nazis. [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] At no point has GNOME made a statement against these actions, nor has GNOME acted to protect their contributors and users from the predators running their project. [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] This is GNOME." [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] "The GNOME Desktop Environment has made some truly bizarre moves over the last few years. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] Technical, marketing, and management. Just pure insanity. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Restricting to only SystemD based systems. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Restricting to only Wayland based systems. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Hiring a shaman to be their Executive Director. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Making an official Mention Lunduke and youre banned for life policy. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Harboring and defending registered sex offenders. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Force installing Trans Pride propaganda and artwork on users computer. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Attacking Jews, on their official website, as leeches and baby killers. [17:46] schestowitz[TR2] - Official spokespersons defacing wiki pages of other projects with wrong political views.

Maybe "no" or "reduced" PAY using your clarification. Even the most famous example I remember from B-School was Lee Iacocca at Chrysler and he worked for more than the $1 salary he took during their turnaround in the early Eighties . " Lee Iacocca worked for far more than $1, although he famously accepted a $1 annual salary at Chrysler between 1979 and 1980 to sy [21:00] schestowitz[TR2] mbolize shared sacrifice during the company's financial crisis. His pay cut was symbolic; he still made millions during that period through stock options, bonuses, and deferred compensation.
