Finally had time to read up on the #Framework discussions. I hope that they will listen to the criticism. If there really aren't any suitable alternatives, I should hope that *at the very least* Framework will make the orgs they sponsor adhere to a strict Code of Conduct that prohibits sentiments that we've seen on Hyprland's discord and github.

@Gina *Me staring at the rabbit hole* Well here we go.

I didn't know of the situations, both Framework's and Hyprland's, until yesterday.

While short term sponsors need to make better due diligence. Long term this needs to be addressed at a higher shared level that also OSS orgs, projects and companies pledge to.

Just imagine the situation for Linux distros, spanning thousands of individual OSS projects. They are in a way sponsoring those, as they include them in their officially released versions and as add-on packages they make available.

@tsvenson yeah interestingly it's a discussion that we're also starting to have at a gov level. As we're advocating for and using more opensource, how do we decide what projects to include and what governance to use? Should values play a role in this? Company (or in this case community) values certainly weren't a consideration in the past, judging by our choice for big tech vendors.

I would suggest to start by doing an audit on just how much OSS that one already is using. Both directly and indirectly.

Then realise just how much of a blind user one has been for a long time already.

Now ones own responsibility can be part of the solution too. Because this has also grown in the dark. Quite similar to how funding of important projects has been ignored, instead very much taken advantage of because one could.

So, I'm arguing CoC and funding needs to be solved together.
