Drew DeVault calls out FOSDEM for giving a keynote slot to Jack Dorsey, former Twitter CEO, arguing that billionaires with records of harming the FOSS community should not be platformed at one of open source's biggest events. DeVault criticizes Dorsey's role in selling Twitter to Elon Musk, his blockchain and bitcoin ventures, and their environmental impact. He announces a planned sit-in on the Janson stage during Dorsey's scheduled talk slot to peacefully prevent it from proceeding. The talk was ultimately cancelled.
