Nah, don’t worry, it’ll be ok. They’ve been sponsored by Google for years. Even Facebook at one point.
It’s open source… it’s about the source being open. It’s open as in “open for business”.
The “F” in FOSDEM is silent.
It’ll be fine…

I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all)
It’s always difficult admitting you’re wrong. But sometimes, it’s exactly what you have to do in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Aral Balkan
This whole thing is very damaging to #fosdem #fosdem25. Anything but pulling back the Keynote would do irreversible harm.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Well, if Aral has no problem using a laptop made by Apple running an OS made by Apple and building his web development kit on top of Node.js, for which V8 — a project headed by Google, is a hard dependency*, then there is indeed nothing wrong with them 😏
* — there were attempts to port it to other JS engines, but none stuck, all of them are abandoned, therefore Node is built on Google technology

in reply to m0xEE • • •@m0xee Yeah, man, exactly the fucking same thing. Thanks, I know we live in a sewer and I’m doing the best I can by USING what’s there. How the fuck is that the same as TAKING MONEY FROM them?
But yeah, sure, what the fuck ever.

I was also thinking about:
#AprilFoolsDay
- Only fools stick around
- Staying? Joke is on you!
- Whose the fool?
- Fool me once, don't fool me twice.
etcetera.. 1,000's of crowdsourced jokes with packaged call for action might be shot into the ether. No legal action, hey it is just satire, right? 🤷
@martijn mentioned #LabourDay as another good date. Labor for transition and onboarding at #fedi.
