Nice to see some "class" from Zemlin on the topic of community behaviour.

Now all we need is some focus on why various member companies of the Linux Foundation seem to routinely violate the licensing of the work featured in the foundation's own name, and why an organisation supposedly acting in the interests of that work does little or nothing obvious in public about it.

Yeah, he dodged the question really well.

I find it frustrating that the zealots who managed to derail the conversation about the LF getting rid of community representation into a gender-based discussion essentially gave Jim a great way of 'addressing' the situation without saying anything material on the matter. How it is even remotely relevant whether a lawyer who's part of a lawsuit against one of the members of the Linux Foundation AND is potentially running for the board has a dick or not escapes me entirely but Jim obviously jumped on the opportunity it gave him to talk about what would otherwise have been an important topic. I wasn't even aware of this part of the conversation until he brought it up (and I'd rather continued to be oblivious of it, I'm ashamed enough as it is for my community's (foss') behavior towards minorities).
