No LibrePlanet organizers (staff or volunteer), speakers, award winners, exhibitors, or sponsors were made aware of Richard Stallman's announcement until it was public.
@fsf The problem isn't only that these organizers shouldn't be removed for someone's announcement they are unaware of, or that the tech media have misrepresented Richard Stallman by manufacturering the statements he didn't make, the crux of matter is that even if Stillman has made a controversial, offensive or even harmful claim, he shouldn't be punished by someone outside of the organization, and shouldn't be removed from his position until his statement have caused direct and evident damage to someone elese . I'm disappointed that you didn't take a tougher stance against the intolerant woke ideology.
