Should Fedora banish Russians as they banished Iranians?

Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 4th of March 2022 07:26:37 PM Filed under
Red Hat

In 2021, Ahmad Haghighi wrote about being erased from Fedora. Matthew Miller, Fedora Project Leader, didn't follow due process or give Haghighi any reason for erasure. He just vanished, as if one of Putin's vacuum bombs had been detonated under his computer.

US sanctions against Iran don't prohibit voluntary and academic pursuits, they only restrict financial relationships. The only woman to ever win the Fields medal is the Iranian academic Maryam Mirzakhani. Stanford University had no problems employing her, would Matthew Miller exclude this brilliant foreigner from Fedora just as he excluded Haghighi?

Other community members have made similar pleas for racial tolerance, for example, Justin Flory's blog on Red Hat and Iran.

Nonetheless, if Red Hat, Fedora and Matthew Miller are taking this hard line on people born in Iran, shouldn't they show exactly the some rudeness to developers from Russia and Belarus today?

Debian Community News: Maria Glukhova, Dmitry Bogatov....

  • Debian Community News: Maria Glukhova, Dmitry Bogatov & Debian Russia, Google, debian-private leaks

    The Free Software Fellowship team has recently blogged about Fedora's relationship with Iran and Russia. Now it is our turn in the Debian Community News Team to look at Debian with the explosive leak of 185 emails from debian-private about the arrest of Dmitry Bogatov in Russia.

    Was Bogatov really a victim of the Russian state or was his arrest another example of smoke and mirrors, like a false-flag operation, encouraging western developers to show sympathy towards Russian cyberspies?

    Can we spot the machinations of psyops officers in these email discussions?

  • Jonathan McDowell: Daniel Pocock is harassing Debian

    Daniel Pocock has been excluded from the Debian community for his abusive behaviour, he’s not been a Debian Developer since late 2018, and I doubt he would ever be welcomed back.

  • Open letter to the ACM regarding Codes of Conduct impersonating the Code of Ethics

    We are writing to request the association's opinion on the phenomena of Codes of Conduct in the free, open source software domain.

    The association operates a Code of Ethics with the stated aims of improving standards of professionalism in the industry at large.

    The free, open source software domain is becoming increasingly prominent as a subset of the industry. In many cases it is the first point of contact for students in computing.

    The largest and most well known employers in the industry have all engaged with the open source concept in some way. These employers and their management count among the members of the association governed by the official Code of Ethics.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
