The GNOME Project is a free and open source desktop and computing platform for open platforms like Linux that strives to be an easy and elegant way to use your computer. GNOME software is developed openly and ethically by both individual contributors and corporate partners, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
This is surprising and the lack of details are concerning.
Edit:
Some updates on situation.
After Multiple reads, I think there are 2 separate things going on. CoC complaint is not the reason for Sonny's removal. CoC is still ongoing.
That's what I understood.
There's this blogpost but it doesn't really shed any more light on the thing either
It does clarify that neither he nor anyone else involved wants people to speculate. Since he's the one being publicly shamed, and whatever other parties there are presumably felt that they were victim to something, seems like a good idea to respect that.
Activity on Sonny's GNOME-related projects will tell me enough.
That's going to be hard given he's had his GitLab account suspended.
His main projects are on GitHub.
Elaborate?
Sonny has been removed from the board of directors but his GitLab account also has been suspended. The second thing is more concerning for me, because the board is a position of greater responsibility and the GitLab instance is just a place to put one's code and to work on projects.
But one need neither be among the board or use GNOME's GitLab server to write their own apps for GNOME,so Sonny can continue to develop his apps. Will he do so or not that will reveal his attitude toward the GNOME project.
Thank you. It's concerning to me as I've known Sonny to be a really nice guy, not sure what possibly could have led to this.
Probably something involving a criminal record
This sort of speculation is leading nowhere.
