schestowitz[TR2]"Last year, it was revealed that a registered sex offender (who reportedly committed “thousands” of acts of sexual abuse against small children) was an active member of the Ubuntu, GNOME, and Debian projects.Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]This convicted sexual predator, Jeremy Bicha, continues to play active (often leadership) roles in all three projects — with official GNOME, Ubuntu, and Debian email addresses.Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]Not one of those organizations — NOT ONE — has warned their contributors, employees, partners, or users of the possible dangers of his involvement (including when he would be attending conferences where children were present).  Not even a simple statement or notification.Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]Over a year later, and none of these three open source organizations (among the largest and most prominent) have taken reasonable responsibility for the safety of those involved.Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]This suggests, quite strongly, that these Open Source organizations do not take the safety of their members seriously."Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]"Did you know that 100% of GNOME security issues are tracked by a single Red Hat employee?Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]And that Red Hat is no longer forwarding *ANY* security issues on to developers of projects which do not allow AI generated content?Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]And that, as of November 1st, that Red Hat employee will no longer be tracking new GNOME security issues *AT ALL*?Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]“Nobody else is tracking GNOME security issues,” says Michael Catanzaro of Red Hat.Jul 21 05:52
schestowitz[TR2]This is the current state of GNOME security."Jul 21 05:52

schestowitz[TR2]For as long as IBM share price does not drop below $200, The current IBM management team might be able to live another day.Jul 21 18:41
schestowitz[TR2]It does not mean, IBM is out of trouble anytime soon.Jul 21 18:41
schestowitz[TR2]The $200 share price is psychological, many investors might view it as a clear to jump off the ship.Jul 21 18:41

schestowitz[TR2]The title is misleading, this is not a government initiated investigation. It is one of the many vulture law firms feeding on the misery of others.Jul 21 18:41
schestowitz[TR2]An investigation by the SEC would be greatly welcomed.Jul 21 18:41
