WeMakeFedora.org and Ukraine under attack

While Putin has been moving his troops into Ukraine, Matthew Miller has attempted to use the UDRP to attack and censor individual volunteers in the Fedora world.

The community elected me as a representative in 2017 and not long after that Miller censored my blog on Planet Fedora. Planet Fedora mysteriously stopped showing the blogs of any independent volunteers in March 2021 during the harassment of Dr Richard Stallman. WeMakeFedora.org was launched at that time to provide the community with a voice.

I nominated for the Fedora Council elections in October 2020. Miller censored my blog from Planet Fedora again in March 2021 at the same time as the bullying attacks on Dr Stallman.

We have posted Matthew Miller's complaint and draft response on Gitlab.

Ironically, the UDRP complaint lodged by Miller includes a picture of a child slave from Ukraine.

Please send us any suggestions you have about how to improve the response or legal resources you might recommend.

The deadline has been extended to the end of February 2022 so there is limited time to complete the response.

This response is not just about me, it is about the rights of all volunteers to take pride in our contributions and assert our rights as authors of Fedora.
