AFAICT, all the public was told is that it was “for cause” (https://discourse.gnome.org/t/updates-to-the-gnome-foundatio...)

They also seem to say:

“We took outside legal advice on the situation and the process at multiple points, and it was duly followed. For the purposes of limiting legal liability, that advice also included making the announcement very terse and factual. I appreciate this is at tension with the transparency that the community would hope to see, but Directors are also obligated to look after the Foundation’s legal requirements and financial interests.”

At least the directors are honest about the real purpose of the foundation. Individuals don't matter, money and director's salaries do.

Some previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41021364

So the speculation is that he uttered some Wrong Think and got fired?

Nobody knows, and that is the Foundation's obvious intention. [ETA:] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41054995 [/ETA]

Bryan Lunduke's report on it: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5899324/gnome-ousts-elected-... . And his video (basically just him reading his own article): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrcFwjhW9uY .

Hilariously, someone else -- and not just anyone else, but the Gnome package maintainer of the Manjaro Linux distribution -- mentioned Lunduke (apparently by linking to the article mentioned above) on the Gnome discussion about this, and was immediately banned! Lunduke's takes on that: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5908516/gnome-bans-manjaro-c... , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ64k2BXAjs .

And yes, a member of the "GNOME Team" confirmed that posting any link to Lunduke getting an insta-ban is official policy there: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/updates-to-the-gnome-foundatio...

Why anyone would trust anything that bunch of loonies does is beyond me.
