Bruce Perens Voted off SPI Board

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the making-time-for-the-important-things dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ComputerWorld is reporting that open source evangelist Bruce Perens has been ousted from the board of Software in the Public Interest. Even though he founded the organization he said it was time to move on, stating that he probably shouldn't have run but just couldn't let it go. It seems that for the time being Perens in content to focus on the truly important things, like watching his son grow and making time for his family. I just hope that he isn't gone for too long."

    How am I supposed to hear rampant rumor and speculation when the subject of the story is posting the truth? This is Slashdot after all; there is a tradition to uphold here people.

    I for one welcome our... ahh never mind that won't work here.

    I'm sorry but the code is more important than watching some bag of meat grow up.

    Okay, this is obvisouly the worst kind of karma whoring possible. How about we take Bruce's highest moderated replies and we all post our own questions?

    I think they just kicked him off the board because he's dead.
