Ngezinsuku zokugcina umhlaba ovulekile ubulokhu uhamba ngenxa yesimemezelo sikaRichard Stallman sokubuyela kwakhe kuFSF okuyi izinkulungwane zabantu ziphakamise amazwi azo ukuze axoshwe wenhlangano ayidalile futhi abe yisibonakaliso sayo amashumi eminyaka. Eqinisweni, ngokulandela ukusabela kwe-Open Source Initiative (OSI), amakhulu abasekeli be-software yamahhala basayine incwadi evulekile becela umsunguli weFree Movement ukuthi abuyisele iphinifa lakhe, kodwa futhi nomkhandlu wonke wesoftware wamahhala.
Ngenkathi ngakolunye uhlangothi, izinkulungwane zabantu zizwakalise ukwesekwa kwazo okungenamibandela futhi bahlela ukwenza iFree Software Foundation imelane nengcindezi.
Lokhu kungumbono kuphela walabo abasekelayo nabatholwayo, kepha futhi neqiniso lokuthi i-RMS ibuyele ku-FSF ibeke uchungechunge lwezinto ezalandelwa hhayi kuphela esakhiweni se-FSF kepha nasemiphakathini eyahlukene nasezinhlanganweni.
Futhi kunjalo UJohn Sullivan osanda kumemezela ukusula kwakhe njenge-CEO yeFree Software Foundation, ihlala kusukela ngo-2011 (imininingwane yesikhathi soguquko nemininingwane yokudluliswa kokulawulwa kumqondisi omusha uJohn athembisa ukukushicilela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezizayo).
Ngemuva kweminyaka engu-18 ngikuFree Software Foundation, ngithathe isinqumo sokushiya isikhundla sami sokuba yi-CEO, okuzoqala ukusebenza ngesikhathi sokuguquka. Sizokwabelana ngemininingwane eminingi, kufaka phakathi imininingwane yalolo shintsho, namanye amagama ambalwa, ezinsukwini ezizayo. Kube yinhlonipho enkulu ukusebenzela lesi sikhungo nokusebenza nabasebenzi be-FSF, amalungu kanye namavolontiya kuyo yonke le minyaka. Abasebenzi abakhona njengamanje bakufanele ukwethenjwa nokuxhaswa ngokuphelele; nakanjani banezami.
Kuyaziwa kuphela ukuthi abasebenzi be-STR Foundation bathembekile ngokuphelele futhi kube yinhlonipho ukusebenzela iSisekelo nokusebenza ngokubambisana nabasebenzi bayo, amalungu kanye namavolontiya.
Ngasikhathi sinye, uKat Walsh, ummeli ababambe iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwelayisense yeCreative Commons 4.0, wayeyilungu leBhodi Labaphathiswa beWikimedia Foundation kanye nomkhandlu olawulayo weXiph.org Foundation, kumenyezelwe ukuthi uzoshiya iBhodi Yabaqondisi yeFree Open Source Foundation.
UKat uveze ukuthi ukushiya akufanele kuthathwe njengokulahla imibono yesoftware yamahhala. Ukuthatha lesi sinyathelo kuqhamuke ekuqondeni okude nokunzima ukuthi indima oyidlalile enhlanganweni ayiseyona indlela engcono yokuqhakambisa isoftware yomthombo ovulekile emhlabeni. UKat ukholelwa ukuthi iFree Software Foundation idinga izinguquko ukulungisa izinkinga ezikhona, kepha akuyena umuntu ongazisebenzisa lezi zinguquko.
Futhi olunye ushintsho olwenziwe ukuthi ngokuhambisana nenqubo ehlongozwe ngenhla yokushintsha ukuphathwa kwe-STR Foundation, UGeoffrey knauth, Mongameli we-STR Foundation, umemezele ukufakwa kwelungu elisha lokuvota eBhodini labaQondisi ukumela imibono yabasebenzi futhi wakhethwa yi-STR Foundation. Umkhandlu waqasha umphathi wezinhlelo u-Ian Kelling.
Lesi yisinyathelo esibalulekile emizameni ye-FSF yokwazisa nokuxhasa ubuholi obusha, ukuxhuma lobo buholi nomphakathi, ukwenza izinto obala kanye nokuziphendulela, nokwakha ukwethembana. Kusenomsebenzi omkhulu okusamele wenziwe, futhi lowo msebenzi uzoqhubeka.
Bengihlale ngazi ukuthi i-FSF inabasebenzi abahle, abasebenza kanzima, kepha ngempumelelo yeLibrePlanet 2021, futhi ngikhuluma nabasebenzi ngesikhathi sempikiswano eyavela ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, angingabazi ukuthi kubalulekile ukufaka abasebenzi okuningi izinqumo. -Iziqiniseko nezingxoxo zamasu. Iseluleko abasinikeze kuleli sonto eledlule sisize kakhulu. Ngikholwa ngobuqotho ukuthi lesi sinyathelo sokwenza ngcono ukuphatha kwe-FSF sizoholela emiphumeleni engcono ngokuzayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungabonakala ukuthi inani lalabo abasayine le ncwadi bexhasa uStallman lidlule kakhulu isibalo salabo abasayine le ncwadi bephikisana no - 3693 abasayine uStallman, ngokumelene - 2811.
