Linux Foundation Makes Statement About Banning Russian Programmers (3 Mths Late)
- latexr 2y agoIf you want to skip 30 minutes of audio fluff, read the original announcement. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/navigating-global-regulations-and-open-source-us-ofac-sanctions https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/navigating-global-regul... Long story short, it’s because of sanctions.
- drysine 2y agoI love this part: 3. Avoid Two-Way Engagement Reviewing an unsolicited patch from a contributor in a sanctioned region should generally be fine, but actively engaging them to better understand their issue, diagnose the problem, or help improve a patch or modify code would likely cross the line. If the contributor is linked to a sanctioned entity or region, in general, it is best to keep communications strictly one-way. If a patch is received and you improve it and submit it upstream, that should be fine, but going back and forth in communications with the SDN developer likely would not.
