Fred was invited to do a keynote speech. Joe was one of those who campaigned for him to be invited.
Keynote speech was downgraded to normal speech at a late date, allegedly overriding a democratic decision.
Fred flounces off dramatically in response to the downgrading and posts a long rambling blog about it and tweets.
Joe resigns in support announcing it in a response to the tweet.
Joe then posts his reasons with a long rambling blog alleging political shenanigans behind the downgrading.
More discussion ongoing on various media.
Names may have been changed here.
Basically though, alleged politics and possible ego issues on either or both sides - with probably poor comms in the best case - centred here on a conference speaker.
Bear in mind that this is also in the context of Rust which has a history of these sorts of shenanigans.
- potsandpans 3y agoI find your summary to be unnecessarily dismissive.

- mellosouls 3y agoTbh that was my personal response as I watched it unfold on Twitter. Politics, ego, drama, whoever is right or wrong. But yeah, perhaps I shouldn't have been so glib in making a private reflection public; apologies if anybody involved is reading the thread.

Fred flounces off dramatically in response to the downgrading Yeah, because "overriding a democratic decision" behind the scenes to backstab someone is a small thing in a project... (Nor was it Fred)
