    Even &amp;quot;apologising&amp;quot; TDF can&amp;#39;t help itself, limiting it to &amp;quot;some&amp;quot; and prefixing everything with victim-blaming: &amp;gt; However, this would not have changed the situation, which might feel like an unfairness to some, even though it isn’t. https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/11/open-letter-to-developers/ #LibreOffice #governance

    Someone just pointed out Mike Kaganski&amp;#39;s blog to me: https://mikekaganski.wordpress.com/2026/04/13/our-doors-have-never-been-closed-to-you/ TDF not only threw him out for no fault just because of who he works for, but - despite spinning it as &amp;quot;temporary suspension&amp;quot; - has banned him from even applying for membership for three years. The linked email is pure gaslighting. What awful, inhumane behavior this is. I am disgusted. #LibreOffice #governance #opensource

    Oh. So this TDF staff member admits to interfering in the Board voting? Interesting. https://italovignoli.substack.com/p/when-twenty-six-votes-said-everything

    RE: https://universeodon.com/@jaykuo/116331578459311108 This has a very Bond Villain vibe. Unfortunately the people doing the killing are supposed to be the good guys.

    Anthropic donates $1.5m to Apache. How much will the actual developers get? Zilch. https://itsfoss.com/news/anthropic-apache-software-foundation-donation/ Donating to Foundations believing you are &amp;quot;supporting the developers&amp;quot; is delusional. You&amp;#39;re just putting money in the pockets of administrators. Do it enough and they will actually throw the developers out in the name of &amp;quot;true meritocracy&amp;quot;.
