Rafael Avila de Espindola, one of the top contributors to the LLVM compiler toolset, has cut ties with the open source project over what he perceives as code of conduct hypocrisy and support for ethnic favoritism. In a message posted to the LLVM mailing list, de Espindola said he was leaving immediately and cited changes in the community.

LLVM project founder, Chris Lattner responded; "I applaud Rafael for standing by his personal principles, this must have been a hard decision." Lattner also insisted that "it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community."

    So if I understand that link correctly, they made a Markdown parser and called it upskirt?

    On this page, http://fossil.instinctive.eu/index.html [instinctive.eu] it appears that Natasha Kerensikova has taken over the project (or forked it) and called it soldout instead.

    LOL - good one.

    It wasn't just the name of the project, though. The crew who developed it were quite crude and vulgar on their forum, comments within the code, and elsewhere. Take any boy's locker room, remove all adult supervision, introduce a couple of juvenile delinquints to the mix, and that would be approximately how upskirt was run. Many men would be embarrassed, not to mention women.
