Terence Eden ☛ WordPress – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
This used to be the way, of course. When a new Pope or Emperor was paraded through the streets, the people cheered and the acolytes coo'd. But someone would chant at them in Latin, "Thus passes all Earthly glory."
The sun sets on every empire. Each god-king was eventually proved to be mortal. The evil that men do lives after them and the good is oft interred within their bones. And so on. We know this. No one is perfect all the time. Every genius has a moment of idiocy.

FSF ☛ FSF associate members to assist in review current board members
After having selected three new board members this year, the FSF Board of Directors is now turning its attention inwards as previously announced. A review of the members of the board of directors began on October 21, 2024. The board members under review in this process will be Ian Kelling, Geoff Knauth, Henry Poole, Richard Stallman, and Gerald Sussman.
The directors will undergo a similar process as the newly selected board members. The purpose of this review is for the associate members to help the voting members obtain information to help them decide whether to retain each existing board member.
