Just noting this here for posterity if folks find this discussion later:

Community Bridge was also discussed on episode 0x65 of Free as in Freedom, which is available in mp3 format and ogg format.

"prefer to use single-point-of-failure, proprietary software rather than FOSS for their infrastructure" sounds a bit snarky ;-)

From the response by Conservancy:

For those who found the wall-of-text over at conservancy a bit daunting, here's the last bit of that post:

"This new LF system is probably just right for FOSS projects that (a) prefer to use single-point-of-failure, proprietary software rather than FOSS for their infrastructure, (b) do not want to operate in a way that is dedicated to the public good, and (c) have very minimal fiscal sponsorship needs, such as occasional reimbursements of project expenses."

Just another LF attempt to look like a part of our community and failing?
