An Anonymous Coward writes:With the first update of youtube-dl since June of this year, the December 17th release has a nice changelog, but also the Core Developer, Sergey M., AKA dstftw, steps down[1]. What will this mean for future releases, or is the project now dead?Some have moved on to a fork of youtube-dl, known simply as, "yt-dlp."Speculation: Considering the amount of controversial news the youtube-dl project has received in the past year or so, could someone with enough power/influence have "convinced" the developer to walk away?[1] The correct message was that he marked himself as, "inactive", but IMO this may as well be called "stepping down."

FSF announces guidelines for board membersstroucki and an Anonymous Coward write:The Free Software Foundation have announced today that they are implementing measures to keep board members accountable to new standards for the good of the organization. This includes a board member agreement covering general responsibilities for board members, and a code of ethics.Their announcement email states that these documents are the "first products of a six-month, consultant-led review". The content of the documents on first sight appear very reasonable, and it will be interesting what further products will follow.It is probably fair to say that the impetus for this review arose from the controversy surrounding FSF founder Richard M. Stallman's departure and surprising return as a board member of that organization.FSF Adopts A Board Member Agreement, Code of Ethics For Board MembersFSF-Board-Member-AgreementOriginal Submission #1  Original Submission #2 Read more of this story at SoylentNews.
