If it’s time for open source to get political that means accessibility and project demographics that reflect society, correct?

It means conferences that are safe for disabled people and gender minorities, correct? It means conferences without racist nonsense, correct?

It means equitable funding practices that don’t require playing silly games with corrupt “anti-corruption” practices, and no need for small projects to hire grant writers, correct?

It means looking at the impact of EU tech supply chains on the Global Majority, and giving money to local projects instead of trying to get a bunch of pale Europeans to cut out the “White Man’s Burden 3.0: Bleep Bloop Computers” nonsense, correct?

Or do organisations mean “getting political” to mean “Murica bad, Europe good”? Same nonsense, but the US flag has an EU flag stuck on over it. Not that, correct?
