[$] FOSDEM keynote causes concerns

This year's edition of the Free and OpenSource Software Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM) begins onFebruary1 in Brussels. The event is widely regarded as one ofthe most important open-source conferences. One of the reasons thatFOSDEM is held in high esteem by the community is its non-commercialnature. It does accept sponsors, butsponsorships come with few perks and no "pay-for-play" speakingslots. Thus, the scheduling of a keynote by JackDorsey-primarily known for his role in co-founding Twitter, andcurrently CEO and chairman of FOSDEM sponsor Block,Inc.-raised eyebrows and led to plans for a protest. Thekeynote has since been removed from the schedule, but there are stilla number of lingering questions.
