Did the foundation really waste money on this ?
https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct.html
Bulleted elements are a bad mix of sensible & ridiculous.
A few examples:
"drugs": If someone is an alcy or druggy, code & commits need
to be monitored. BSD is not art enhanceble with drugs.
"employment": If code or commits emanate from an NSA employee
it needs to be outed (pref. by self but any other will do)
"*hug*" Shock ! Horror ! Heaven forfend such offense ! ;-)
https://www.freebsdfoundation.org has no search box to find
if/ how much was paid to make FreeBSD & its people look ridiculous.
It reduced my interest to list the FreeBSD Foundation in my will
(Wills usually list relatives & friends first if alive, but
sometimes with a default of a group of charities as fallback)
Rather than waste money on rubbish
"based on the example policy from the Geek Feminism wiki"
One could look at donating money for BSD _code_ via
https://www.netbsd.org/foundation/ or possibly
http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/
we share BSD driver etc code after developed anyway.
PS Re. censored media: jobs at freebsd is also censored.
Cheers,
Julian
