@ptesarik Countries are political concepts, so every country where you move the organization will impose some sort of politics on that organization. Unless you propose moving to Principality of Sealand? :)
Joking aside, Linux Foundation is nowadays business with very big business behind, so change of residency might not change much.

@krzk I don't know the answer, but I know the question is now valid after many years.
Yes, I also believe that there is no compelling reason to move at this time, but how are we prepared to move when/if needed? TBH even the fact that the organization cannot be easily moved looks like a risk factor to me.

@pdp7 @ptesarik Yeah, I like that idea and for many it would be considered neutral or more neutral place. It won't silence all "neutrality" voices, though. No matter how much you wish, you cannot escape politics when dealing with known, big organization.

@krzk @ptesarik yeah, and ultimately there are laws no matter what country one lives in. I do
sometimes worry about a future in which my open source activities could be constrained by laws about what entities US citizens can interact with.

@krzk @ptesarik though that's probably just my imagination running wild due to my stress and nervousness about what will happen in the next few months in the US 😬😬😬

@pdp7 @krzk I don't want to add to your anxiety, but my wife is a historian, so she drew my attention to some essays by Timothy Snyder, and no, I'm afraid things do NOT look good.
