This does not warrant them giving them a board seat just because they have cash. Go is moot point because they control that language anyway, people have no say

Go is moot point because they control that language anyway, people have no say on it except people who work at Google.
No surprise that you cannot donate any money there.
- nindalf 6y agoFoundation needs money (to hire employees) and resources (server time and bandwidth) to run. Sponsors of the foundation will fund this. It's as simple as that. Point out where this arrangement hasn't worked well. Otherwise you're just spreading FUD.
- yannoninator 6y agoNever said I was against sponsorship, just don't put them on the board of directors, a gold/plat sponsorship without votes will do. Examples of foundations and centers that do this are R, OCaml, Zig and Ruby. All successful. > Point out where this arrangement hasn't worked well. Otherwise you're just spreading FUD. W3C and DRM, do you know who voted for this and who is on the board of directors of the W3C? If you need some time I'll wait.
