Hrmf, did i get my CEOs confused. Could have sworn there was some BDSM stuff involved as well. Or was that some other FOSS project?



> Could have sworn there was some BDSM stuff involved as well.

Well, not with Eich. I don't think there was another short-term Mozilla CEO ousted among public controversy.

ISTR participation in Gor fandom being brought up alongside sexual harassment/abuse claims for a prominent community figure (maybe Jacob Applebaum? I thought it was him, but I don't see that element mentioned in any of the articles on him, so it may have been someone else) but I don't remember that or consensual BDSM related activity being the central concern in any ouster.

EDIT: As a sibling comment suggest, the Gor issue was with Larry Garfield.


The only well-known techie BDSM stuff I know of was not a CEO - it was Larry Garfield of the Drupal community.
