I just saw the news of the soft fork announcement over on the IceShrimp instance and thought I should share here
Background Context for Anyone Out of the Loop
(newest to oldest news - top to bottom):
- NixOS Fork Announced by Jake Hamilton -
- Reddit post - 15 contributors left Nixpkgs maintenance
- Programming.dev post - Jon Ringer’s suspension
As mentioned (by u/steventrouble in the previous post here):
IDK about the issue itself but I must say the discourse post does a mighty good job at explaining the reasons the guy was NOT suspended for and a really terrible one at explaining what they actually did suspend him for, except pissing off “the moderation team, in consultation with members of the Foundation board”.
