This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------030203080506050104000405 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear all, I actually like our new code of conduct. It protects my rights as a human being, and it gives me safety in knowing that they will be respected by my fellow FreeBSD developers. However... The code of conduct explicitly states that discrimination based on gender is one such issue that is -explicitly- forbidden, and that interpersonal communication is to be kept civil, tolerant and impersonal . Obviously, when a member of the FreeBSD community sets out to collect quote "male tears" unquote, I see this as a huge disservice to the advocacy of the FreeBSD project, and there is a time and place for making my dissent public. I have kept quiet over the whole affair that was spurred by my taunting that person on Twitter; today that person has gone too far. I - as a male - feel not only not tolerated, but also discriminated against, because the action so taken has shown that the person taking this action (while celebrating the code of conduct) does not value it in the slightest. Given my previous run-in with that person, I have thought twice before posting this email. If that person keeps continuing to break the code of conduct this person advocated for, and keeps doing that in the name and with consent of the FreeBSD community, I shall immediately cease all public contributions to the FreeBSD project, including but not limited to - - upstreaming all the patches I have generated that have not made it into the portstree -so far- - - contributing new, and updating outdated ports as well as fixing bugs (last I counted, I had 216 ports commits under my belt) - - reviewing the 64bit Linux Emulation ports as well as maintaining *any* of the 32bit ports, which I myself contributed during 9 months of hard work, - - advocacy events I had planned for this fall to happen in Estonia with Garage48.org, and started organizing with the Tallinn Technical University, - - various small improvements to the FreeBSD documentation. I do not stand for a community that gives itself a Code of Conduct, and in that the very members who advocate for it -- kick it with their own feets. Screenshots of the material in question attached. - -- Best regards, Johannes Meixner “If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?" "I…don't know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?" "To shrug.” -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVpkfsAAoJEElqnXBiUNQCmy0QAJPh0NMOk/a88QLnwv5L/EWe 86W81++ed7loEo7p25Laqk2kx1fU+x4UXszEj8Z7hF7FxNO5P+r2T9RBmg7CCmUj 8PwINpHFM8Mo03Pn9Zzbm1QMTpmsnttOfI5lclOJeE1/+LnLt2ebKO/3Aj9bFbZ5 LtPQ/bDINWunAIfaUxHVBw5j18p4HBsa8OeE2+97Al2/fqHUN/V1DJEgRM5eRM0F fifBPw2sE4EQE2xS4ZJ2M/CrGAr8xBQ1inlDCFjghTZ6IOwCb2kmQldZG1A/3u0E uDuN+Xr9J9JTcf2/kj0qvY0SVsasIT2EYdaG9KnqoioHNE4MvgkERkVGWMDg2AiO /O4m1rUxgM2dY9UY8PclftWrylzM3D3NFWyeYnsnPiHoD7nuOgMs+LxDQifIPQis YT6AW95QjScHQBnLwiJRZVR9c9hItyPW/+58OTMdD2eYIDjSjekA9OcSjfQbnz8H +LKNEzLd4kFWHIglXlpIVdQFTVCqNINCzSA1kkijNlhy2Kbxa+csZio7JZPF/27x DVa6Voyfag4vYlHZxpos1Sy40KWpWIrmcUpUUQ/jMoxEfkfg/BDvsW421nfSnldM OoY8DqiLlEfY+TmzJQ8hd8RoasaYZxAb8aHuBUojwtsrTF2XvfrS4IZlapN2Q1xW P78VPIAIxRalYRkIA0ib =ayEV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------030203080506050104000405 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="freebsd-advocacy-mail_02.png.sig" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="freebsd-advocacy-mail_02.png.sig" iQIcBAABCAAGBQJVpkfuAAoJEElqnXBiUNQCeQEP+QElkJaUaE4AprEZN0ltuQJx0/fxXeN4 IEsNQ7p8dJTldYYcnFCWdqDeHvScoChT5jNMu3M6XrOIad9CKXJ3kiMWbJf10HO3cXdLMR8I PGLHuRsGp9+ik9fDInBBmEQaEIa1DW5YbFDXHEevil3oKvRuON+evs9YnwJZLmakd6X77KzC 9rGyPY441EJO3oktY0e9OQC5wcOxwgzfOhWsY22wFDskT21lsKE4AhGgNQrkAD0a6X/B4WM8 JVCMTVYa+sHJzYQ6K7V0vt7m8wQ4P3GppAaGouECKbSUCMeV0pNvqJboyqP1IkY0nFiuxuD0 V5oNi+qufJddbfalftX4AtdfTc+HLZN+SWzw+Men8TkMuuuNbXJe8Puf19C9E87hewVjocBg FYSGTis2iEuyfgaqCH3kwikPpNyRInwrSkSfbUhMKWkbPRaouPrIJgcsJnT/F8p3ShEyNqwo E2iD3hMzCXl0d8vOI4g4XlxO46OthWBq/qUWNVi+bbdH+2sKVnDv+wQ6ptK7nyfdefwq7RcK 0kODNtDhr3QMc/AFpD2N8hNG3+QRrEwwH+l+GdV/n/ljBgdRLqBDrMUvSjlCUG5k+hmxbGmx gpftEJTuknKdIYor6EEC3UElnGKl+LHiACm1RLkkJ7L55+sD/5gTu5gO6Wni8UeE8w7lMkYr nXMn --------------030203080506050104000405 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="freebsd-advocacy-mail.png.sig" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="freebsd-advocacy-mail.png.sig" iQIcBAABCAAGBQJVpkfuAAoJEElqnXBiUNQC80UP/jXwE0Aa+zYwiSlm0wEDtKecbjQA420Q ggledPGiSSK+JiWY9st2yV8wWwGQ3KfAiQU3PHQO7WShxSdEWngdqyrvcWBPs5xz2swEXVU/ Gxumnro4rnav6P+053uZDXYwouKiGXlGE6kQSz4mbNQyls4B6dv5visItznYcn5r1SCrqemx 1v3nPQTRp3UDfXpwh7ZYiLeuUq6sFcqrolRwjmUlUSXgBlJM+DsQgYyn4tOcEshpxNnm4bcq 0cnu3nlnvXn66+lBjb/ynEGXAz3IOdzF9s3OzUqGRefqE8V8qw2ikmtoMGgbaQuqLKAns/Po vlFL2dZtI1jn2w9p5uE6Y1JCxjdCuFk9Q/jaCfIx7ie0wNBap5oRIRv8Hd3Ok5/B+LS6lUWh g9DT3baOu+ZltQIciiuql3jQAfpDlZRSsrPWRWPTLcjyFHW3rfMt0CKpTOxDmugo//JlGRqC zuoIv5cEN+MOhe1/ERac/R3VVPvUpvoZrBxAEjQw7vshoS7sbVQ3b2I8J9SNM7L1RHX9dsca gEx9CIf94ig+zZ9kZitjQcnOql15XNnuSxu4kUg6jhHn1XbPjE+iyFv6wnKmPmmSc3LqSdCP 7YJIg5AkPJT3vrNbMfmmMuSUl9gfkDiUekAD2GcvAaCsbxz0OWooUKGW/8/Lt6Hnvfb9IrTo HFHE --------------030203080506050104000405--
