I don't see how. It is open source. Please take your agenda elsewhere.

What exactly is my agenda? I do not support Trump, nor his fanboys. But removing people from a professional/scientific conference due to their political views is simply not OK and sets up a very dangerous precedence.

It's time to "fork" the Linux Foundation and let the SJW branche slowly die...  ;D

And no. Practically firing someone from their work, because of their political view is not OK.
It is one step away from sending the black van during the night to drag them away into the gulag.

It is not OK to advertise political agendas at work. In most places this is frowned upon and is at least seen as bad behavior by many people. Of course, different companies could have different rules.

I'm definitely not worried about the so called SJW group starting sending such vans. Is there any real evidence for that? The accusations about "SJW", "commies" etc. seem to come from people having a political view that somehow neatly fits into the views of the MAGA people where you are allowed to look down on "foreign" people, people of different color etc. Many of the MAGA people have made very clear that they do not accept all people as equal human beings. So is it so surprising that people with such extreme political views could be banned from such events? And latest developments indicate that it is this group of people that are most likely to start sending those black vans during night. Indeed the last days there have been openly expressed views about justifying murder of what they call "commies" or whatever term they make up. That is much more worrying right now.
