@karen @bkuhn Six years on, and with these companies now openly standing with Trump and complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, do you still support your decision to have Google and Microsoft as sponsors at your conference? Would you do so again today?

@karen maybe too big of a question but: i feel with everything that’s happened with the FSF I’ve been struggling with free software culture a bit, it feels sometimes like free software spaces are very dogmatic and rigid
does the SFC have a vision for the future of free software culture? would love to read/watch anything about it
@b0rk This is definitely not too big of a question, but it's a serious one! We too worry about free software culture, which I agree can be dogmatic and rigid. We at #SFC have worked hard to keep ourselves focused on our ethics and principles, while also acknowledging that we live in a complex world.
We've acknowledged how difficult it is to live in a purely #freesoftware world. You can see the keynotes @bkuhn and I gave over the years, here's one from #FOSDEM:
