[Libre-soc-dev] Fwd: Request for payment for 2021-02-052: The Libre-SOC Gigabit Router

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ok i just received this, and i don't even know where to begin.
it does actually ask questions however, but - and this is
higly significant - makes an implicit accusation that i am
"inflicting damage on other team members" and that they
have the RIGHT to contact team members privately.

it completely ignores the effects of the combination of autism,
chronic adrenal fatigue and domestic verbal abuse that
has nearly killed me, caused a stroke, and much more.

it completely ignores that under these physical health
circumstances i have been systematically abused by people
i formerly trusted.

i had a sneaking suspicion that those former team members
had been talking privately to nlnet, but this message begins
to confirm it.

what nlnet have not taken into consderation is that it is
IN THE INTERESTS of those abusive ex-team-members to leverage
nlnet to maximise damage.

Dear Jan,

Your request for payment of 2024-05-22 00:02 for 2021-02-052: 'The
Libre-SOC Gigabit Router' was approved.

Thanks to Jacob for adding the additional information for his part of the
work executed within this task. A bit more explanation would be nice but
this breadcrumb trail already gets us somewhere halfway out of the
labyrinth, hopefully we can together find our way to the exit soon.
Probably the easiest way is to try and reach this same spot from outside of
the project issue tracker. We need to understand how the outcomes of this
task and the other tasks still under evaluation relate to the Gigabit
router project, effectively allowing anyone interested in that effort to
pick up the thread from here onwards. We can use the main Libre-SOC webpage
as a map. Could you please point us to the right place on the website which
explains how the (for now dangling) text on
https://libre-soc.org/openpower/sv/bitmanip relates to the larger goal of
building a Libre-SOC Gigabit Router? For you, this may be obvious, but for
us on the outside of the maze it is not.

In response to some recent comments we noted on the issue tracker: as a
grant maker, we should, can and will communicate in confidence with any
individual with whom we have a direct or indirect relationship, especially
when dealing with sensitive matters - which as you will appreciate may
include a whole range of unpleasant situations, including violations of our
code of conduct, health issues, personal and business conflicts, etcetera.

Privacy and discretion are the norm. Being able to speak up against
wrongdoings without fear for repercussion is important for a healthy team
climate, which is turn is critical for the long term success of a project.
Due to the dependency team members intrinsically have on their leadership,
we consider the possibility for us to have direct communication with these
team members essential, in everyone's best interest and non-negotiable. The
possibility to ask questions, flag disagreement as well as signal potential
abuse or conflicts of interest threatening the functioning of a team,
without having to go on public record with their concerns, and without
having to directly confront the person in charge, can help for us to
intervene early - when there is still the possibility to mediate and repair
things. In severe cases it will help avoid or at least minimise damage
inflicted upon team members by project leads or other team members.

We keep high standards in terms of acting kindly and responsibly. We are
committed to maintain discretion and confidentiality unless required for
compliance reasons or explicitly agreed otherwise - and trust our
communication partners to do the same. This open door policy works
bidirectionally: anyone should be able to reach out to us in absolute
confidence, just like we will reach out to when we experience a need. It is
important that all stakeholders are correctly informed, and feel free to
speak up.

We consider it inappropriate for a project lead to make communication
demands towards team members (and to NLnet for that matter). We therefore
kindly request you to transparently share this information with your
collaborators in all the places where public statements to the contrary
were made.

Best regards,
Michiel Leenaars
