    Last 40 hrs in #Lerna project provided an opportunity to reconsider an important philosophical & policy question: "How should software freedom activists engage with other political causes through their projects?"

    1. Challenges in Maintaining A Big Tent for Software Freedom
      from Software Freedom Conservancy
      In recent weeks, I've been involved with a complex internal discussion by a major software freedom project about a desire to take a stance on social justice issues other than software freedom. In the discussion, many different people came forward with various issues that matter to them, including vegetarianism, diversity, and speech censorship, wondering how that software freedom project should handle other social justices causes that are not software freedom. This week, (separate and fully unrelated) another project, called Lerna, publicly had a similar debate. The issues involved are challenging, and it deserves careful consideration regardless of how the issue is raised.
