Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I think given the current political situation this is the right call. No one knows what the Russian government might compel otherwise innocent devs to do.
That said, we (and I mean society, not any particular individual) should be mindful that we don’t slip into bigotry.
Linux Fundarion is based in America. It needs to follow its rules and politics. I guess a lot of things will happen after this. As something so important for open technology like It , should be based in a more open, mor asvanced in laws and neutral territory.
Linus is from Finland. Not hard to remember reasons for aversion to Russian propaganda for anyone raised near it.
Blanketing the Linux Foundation as American based kind of sounds like you're a Russian troll.
You would think someone from Finland would know better that, when you are so close to a power you don't like, the best way to prosper is by keeping neutrality,.. look at Finland in the 60s-00s, Singapore, Austria... or you choose to pick the Ukrainian, Filipino and Cuban path...
