Libreboot has now officially applied to rejoin GNU, which it left in September. According to Leah Rowe, the "initial responses from GNU's leadership seems positive."

Last week we reported that after reorganization, Libreboot was considering rejoining GNU and was seeking input from its community to determine the amount of support it had for such a move. From reading the comments posted both on our article on FOSS Force and on Libreboot's website, it comes as no surprise that the project's core members feel they have the necessary consesus to proceed.

Last night, FOSS Force received an email — sent jointly to us and Phoronix — letting us know of the decision.

    They need to fork it and get rid of all the drama queens.

    The drama queen in question wasn't even the person who 1) started or 2) contributed most to the project, they somehow ended up in the position of project manager because people trusted him and he provided hosting and what not. Judging by his results so far, he should be kicked out of the project and hopefully ignored by any other self-preserving project; the original devs shouldn't effectively be forced out.

    Likely this move is him trying to save face after realizing nobody trusts him any more, not any ideological shift or new light shed on the (entirely deranged) accusations that started this.

      In my opinion the No Code of Conduct (NCoC) code of conduct has a lot going for it.

      https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC [github.com] or https://nocodeofconduct.com/ [nocodeofconduct.com]

      What is No Code of Conduct?

      No Code Of Conduct is a groundbreaking new idea. Designed to help you find communities and projects that will not get stuck endlessly debating how members should behave in their communities, only to be found to never be fully resolved to anyone's liking.
      What if... we all agreed?

             

      1. We are all adults. Capable of having adult discussions.

               

      2. We accept everyones contributions, we don't care if you're liberal or conservative, black or white, straight or gay, or anything in between! In fact, we won't bring it up, or ask. We simply do not care.

               

      3. Nothing else matters!

        4. No whiny bitches. If you try to get anyone else in trouble with the project, you're out the fucking door with my bootprint on your ass.

        Add that to the list and you more or less have the unofficial SN code of conduct. The Brits on staff and I have had some epic arguments about politics in IRC and two minutes later been talking in a perfectly friendly manner about a site issue. None of us take our political disagreements personally because they have nothing whatsoever to do with anything site-related. Anyone who did manage to get butthurt over someone disagreeing with them would be given the bootprint remedy.

          Issue is that banning people now tends to be narrated-as or taken-as some kind of assault because people get their feelings hurt and people react when they're hurt. Which is honestly probably more healthy than not.

          Part of the problem is the sheer availability of open platforms to kneer-jerk react on that are completely detached from you hundreds of times over. I knee-jerk reply here constantly and probably look like 3 different aggressively insane people because I post most when I've been working through the night. This whole uh... Misunderstanding? seems like a decent example. The greater example of the century is probably twitter.

          Not sure if it's new or not because I guess I haven't done open forum moderating in long enough spans. But my god someone tried multiple times multiple years to petition me being booted off the staff of a wiki. I honestly don't quite understand it. Maybe I should butthurt moar instead of just generally ramble. You know. For perspective.

          Also yeah brits seem to make decent political conversation sometimes. Not sure why. One in particular has gotten me frustrated enough to just call his views on voting and stuff stupid. Tolerates it better than americans I've had similar debates with.

          Maybe it's because they don't have the bit level optimization we do when it comes to political interpretation.

            You post AC and expect anyone to believe you are even capable of ass-kicking on above a sixth-grade level?

          Irony from buzzard? Say it ain't so. So as long as they don't violate your rules and call you mean names everything is fine? If we're all adults you should be able to handle some criticism. Oh right, back to my first point.

          Well, sometimes people deserve to be in trouble. You just admitted as much.

          Glad to hear it. Whenever someone takes personally a disagreement about something distant or abstract (politics, philosophy, religion), I feel a certain intellectual disappointment.
