Any updates about the Node leadership disaster news from the 10 days ago? That left a bad taste in my mouth about node.
The open source landscape is filled with forks of projects that diverged for a variety of reasons.
A fork means the people involved are still contributing code and it can potentially be merged upstream.
The alternative is they don't fork, and contribute nothing because they're unhappy with the original project.
Just some ranting person(s) taking their marbles and going home. Let's hope the door didn't hit them on their way out.
Otherwise, Node looks totally non-impacted and business as usual.
You mean four out of the 13 CTC members leave to make a fork and the project is "totally non-impacted"?
This is from the Ayo "GitHub":
"For the time being, simply by mirroring them to preserve drop-in-ability. Eventually, I have no interest in retaining compatibility with Node Core at all, because that would involve participating in and interacting with a community with deeply dysfunctional governance."
Yeah, good luck with that.
In most cultural matters, this community tilts quite progressive. However, "Codes of Conduct" are an exception case, in which the community's libertarian streak clearly dominates. I do not believe that the moderators approve of that deviation. It would not surprise me if this entire thread were likewise flagged and removed if this subject draws too much conversation.
That's it? I'm happy. The toxic SJWs are out. Sounds good for the project as a whole.
> On Tuesday, the thirteen-member steering committee came together to vote on whether to remove Rod Vagg, a TSC member and Node.js contributor, over his controversial statements on Twitter and GitHub that prompted complaints. They also voted on whether to ask Vagg to resign.
