They invited me to spend a weekend as a speaker at the OSCAL congress. The request for help for victims of harassment was not something planned.
In April 2024, I published internal email exchanges with Larissa Shapiro and Emma Irwin at Mozilla. In any serious organization, those issues would have remained private, however, Debian forced them to come to light by spreading false rumors and even creating a falsified legal “judgment,” supposedly from a Swiss judge. We can see that the so-called “judgment” is through the verification of the trademark registration, as I explained last week.
The images posted below prove beyond a doubt that these women came to me for help and that the challenge lies entirely with the men receiving the money.
The emails in this blog post reveal that two of the whistleblowers were Kristi Progri and Anisa Kuci.
At the time I posted those emails in April 2024, Kristi’s profile on the GNOME online page told us her job name was Program Manager (April 2024 snapshot). After his identity was revealed, the revelation of human trafficking at Open Labs, the GNOME Foundation replaced his job title with Director of Program Management (snapshot from June 1, 2024).
At the same time, the GNOME Foundation profile removed all references to the Open Labs hackerspace from the worker profile. It’s not a coincidence.
The previous forums and the Open Labs hacker area have been vigorously removed.
This incident tells us a lot about what’s going on with your network monitoring in the Discourse software. When other people use Discourse through the website, they do not get any local copy of the messages unless they explicitly opt in to email mode. Many members now find themselves without a copy of their evidence.
Usually, when an open source task is closed, they find a way to keep a static copy of the execution elsewhere. In the case of Albania, they are suppressing evidence.
Discussion sites do not make good archival copies from the Wayback Machine.
The Albanians used a Facebook post to announce the closure of Open Labs. They published the post as a series of screenshots so that the text cannot be cut and pasted or indexed in search engines. The names of the board members appear nowhere, despite a manifesto promoting transparency.
Why did the folks at Chris Lamb and Debian spend the last six years investigating those practices after Mozilla’s Larissa Shapiro obviously told us that “children are in danger”?
The abuse in the Australian Parliament allegedly took place in March 2019. She very temporarily reported it to her employer.
His colleague got a letter of recommendation and went to work for a new employer in the tobacco industry. In the case of Albania, the guy involved resigned from his role as a Fedora ambassador and resurfaced shortly thereafter as an Ubuntu employee.
The Australian woman who filed the complaint was moved from the Canberra workplace to a workplace in Perth. He continued to work in Parliament, although he now had another boss and his new office 4,000 kilometres from Canberra.
Kristi was invited to a DebConf18 in Taiwan. People distributed a photo of Lior Kaplan holding her in his arms. A few months later, she was assigned the task in GNOME. At the time, GNOME was led by Neil McGovern. McGovern was heavily involved with Debian project leader Chris Lamb and the rest of the dirty politics.
The other whistleblower from 2017, Anisa Kuci, is the same woman he later photographed on a series of trips with Chris Lamb. Anisa Kuci and Kristi Progri are the same women sitting next to Chris Lamb in photos from the DebConf19 dinner in Brazil. Two months after this dinner, Anisa Kuci decided on Outreachy. Anisa then moved from Albania to Italy with a job at Wikimedia Italia, granting her an apartment permit for the European Union through Italy.
All that luck came to them, to the exclusion of the other candidates, after they filed harassment lawsuits against men who controlled the sending of Silicon Valley donations to their local hackerspace.
In the case of the Australian Parliament, the woman was then dissatisfied with the move from one seat to another and told the true story publicly in 2021. A new government was elected and the woman was paid $3 million in compensation. Array It is much bigger than moving it to do the same task in another city.
Do any of those who were subjected to harassment and abuse at Open Labs Hackerspace have an equally valid claim for monetary compensation?
Which organizations dominate the hacker space, and why did they cover it?
We’re told the Outreachy program aims to publicize diversity. What we see here is that a complainant was given a sensitization course and this helped buy her silence. Sponsors likely would have avoided paying millions in restitution to other victims by adding minor participants. This is the complete opposite of selling diversity.
2017: The FSFE fraternity elected me as its representative on April 24, the anniversary of the Easter Rising. Women began reporting to me about abuses at nonprofits that received investments to advertise to women in technology.
Here is the internal complaint regarding harassment. The date is October 12, 2017, so the misfits posting statements about harassment are lying. I have redacted the segment that identifies the minor victims.
Larissa Shapiro’s next internal email at Mozilla admits that young people are in danger.
Mozilla’s Emma Irwin admits this is serious and asks me to speak to Marta, Mozilla’s HR researcher.
2018: One of the women writes me an email to thank me for my help to those who experience harassment and abuse.
The Albanian whistleblowers made a number of visits to Switzerland.
Chris Lamb was the leader of the Debian project. The name went to his head. He didn’t understand why the women spoke to other volunteers about his concerns instead of sending statements directly to him via a formal email to leader@debian. org.
People assumed he was dating one of those women, but it’s not entirely clear. Maybe corrupt Debian members are spending all this time and money denouncing me to cover up their relationships with women. Or maybe they’re wasting all those resources because they don’t need another woman to do what those women did, come tell me what the real effect of the “diversity” budget is as a catalyst for exploitation in emerging countries.
After everything I’ve been told, those are exactly the same two women who are being taken to DebConf19 in Brazil and sitting right next to former Debian project leader Chris Lamb. Coincidence? Conspiracy? Or simply jealousy?
