Jason Scott is stirring up some drama on the eve of #VCFEast because he donated some stuff to #VCF but doesn’t actually understand how “donation” and “archiving” work. He’s also taking at face value that someone was “driven out” of the organization when they actually ragequit rather than work within proper governance.

VCFed is a decent organization, especially now, and the VCF events are great. This drama is a tempest in a teapot, and absolutely not a reason not to participate or attend.

@eschaton >when they actually ragequit rather than work within proper governance.

You willing to elaborate on this? I was/am part of the Vintage Computer forums, and Evan is- was?- head admin for as long as I remember?

Guess I haven't been paying much attention.

@cr1901 This is my understanding based on talking with others who were there when the steering committee was established. (Oh yeah, and Federation ≠ Forums ≠ Festival…)

@eschaton I uhhh, am definitely out of the loop yes.

I was thinking of Erik Klein, who founded the VCForums (which are at vcfed.org now), not Evan. I don't know anything about Evan, it seems lol.

No comment on the relevant blog posts (other than seems like the posts made a mountain out of a molehill).
