[OSGeo-Discuss] Activist campaign of open source projects to protest against policies of the US government

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I've started an activist campaign of open source projects want to join 
the protest against the US government stupid, cruel and dangerous 
politics that affect the whole world ?

I've initiated the move with GDAL 
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11865 
<https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11865> , with follow ups in 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11875 
<https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11875>, 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11876 
<https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11876>, 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11877 
<https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11877>) , and also pushing for PROJ 
(https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/4406 
<https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/4406>) , MapServer 
(https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7233 
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7233>) and GEOS 
(https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/1243 
<https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/1243>) .

Anyone else ?

I don't agree that we should stay away from politics. Our projects only 
make sense in the context of a free society, and this freedom is at high 
stake. We have admittedly little power, but we can and should exercise 
it with the tools at our disposal. The addition of small little acts 
might end up having visible consequences.
