Martin Schulze Steps Down As SPI Vice President

Posted by timothy on from the dissension dept.

Tina Gasperson reports on NewsForge that Martin Schulze, Vice President of Software in the Public Interest, is resigning his position there to protest the lack of time he says fellow SPI higher-ups are devoting to the organization. Since SPI serves as a coordinating body for several large-scale Free software projects (like GNOME and OpenOffice.org), discord there should concern a lot of people. Update: 11/26 03:14 GMT by T : That should read "OpenSource.org," not "OpenOffice.org." Sorry.

    Wait, so they have an organization where all the bloated and out-of-control projects go to congregate? Is it like AA or Overeaters Anonymous? Wow, they've got everything on the Internet these days!

    It took guts to give up and quit? Man, I'm the gutsiest guy on the planet by that metric! Who knew?
