I think this shows how @linuxfoundation is not necessarily on our side.

Data privacy rules like GDPR are fueling a climate of risk aversion, slowing open data progress.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •It's absolutely astounding how disconnected they are from the Linux community. What's even really the point of the LF if they just post and think like any SF tech startup ?
It's embarassing.

Fortunately they are and always have been terrible at PR so it's easy to tell what their actual members want.
No corporation is on your side unless you own a controlling share of it.

ETA: Or maybe more topical: "Passwords fuel a climate of risk aversion slowing the flow of information."

Take a look at
linuxfoundation.org/about/memb…
Which will make matters clearer. It is an Industrial Interest Group.

LF can sometimes be useful to free and open source software, but one must never rely on them to advance principles over their large corporate member interests.
(I'm speaking here as someone who co-founded what became a LF Collaborative Project, so I have some experience with them.)

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •But they are right. There are lots of municipalities that instinctively are precautious because of GDPR rules about data that has nothing to do with personal data protection. Just because people now think that data should be secret. Open data is what fuel lots things like open street map and what not.

All the big corporations that gather our data for nefarious purposes including giving it to the government on request are on this page.
