Not a fully formed thought here, so bear with me, but:

- European Commission removed funding for FLOSS

- Big Tech exploits FLOSS projects left and right, which becomes super clear as soon something like Log4shell hits

- But Big Tech does not, by and large, *fund* development of FLOSS tools they rely on (and make big bucks on)

So… How could an FLOSS Developers' Global Strike look? 🤔

Take down that one little package you have on github that 5 million corporates assume will exist?

@bob_zim @cy that's definitely how such a strike should *not* look like.

@rysiek @cy I don’t know. The point of a strike is to be disruptive enough your demands can’t be ignored by the people who depend on your work. That was pretty disruptive and visible, and the impact was contained to people who depended on the developer’s work.
