@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?
#SFC #softwareFreedom #FOSS #Google #Microsoft #surveillanceCapitalism #BigTech #SiliconValley
AFIAK, SFC have the only #FOSS conference in existence that criticizes sponsors for their bad behavior each day in the opening remarks.
When was the last time #LinuxFoundation admitted publicly that their giant list of event sponsors are often bad actors? 2012, I think?
Some companies won't sponsors SFC events b/c they don't want to be criticized like this. #SFC's integrity is not for sale; if you buy ☕∀ our attendees, you gotta live with public-stated list of grievances.
