I was lurking on reddit and found out this post, I guess from the owner of @[email protected] .

I really hope that they will find a solution, I think that a lot of people depend on the good state of F-droid

    That’s such a shame. From what I can gather, Izzy really cares about FOSS software. This will be a massive loss. But if we’re honest, how can two thirds of the board quit rather than just the one person that’s causing problems?

      Well, i would imagine if hes the only one who has administrative access to the gitlab environment, then basicly he can do as he pleases and anyone on the board cant stop him anyway (if they cant remove him from gitlab because they have no administrative rights), so all they can do is quit.

      Thats what i think :)

        I’m not super familiar with the situation but very familiar with how boards work.

        Anyone know why the board resigned instead of pursuing legal action? Unless the gitlab instance was in the admins actual name, it belongs to the org. A restraining order removing the admin would be enough for gitlab proper to remove the guy and install someone else.

        While most courts don’t know a lot about technology, board of director actions are very, very straight forward.
