We make a number of sponsorships each year in the form of both monetary donations and product donations. We're sharing a list of our sponsorships since the start of 2025, and will continue to keep this up to date over time.| Framework
Just 8 days after I began this thread re: maybe switching to a #FrameworkLaptop, a scandal broke that #Framework directly funded toxic individual FOSS developers. It's not clear to me yet whether an outright boycott is warranted, but what's already obvious is Framework acts like a classic VC-funded tech startup in making foolish unforced errors in policy decision-making b/c they're too busy “moving fast & breaking things” to pay attention to important details (such as past CoC violations)...| copyleft.org
I’m disappointed in the response to the concerns people have raised. I don’t think that working with DHH can, at this point, be justfied. He has recently posted a blog post that makes it clear that he does not consider non-white British citizens to be British. He’s expressed support for very extreme far-right figures in the UK who are well outside the realm of normal political discourse, who make it their job to incite racial hatred. People who advocate for deporting British citizens fr...| Framework Community
Thanks, I appreciate you also replying in good faith. I don’t think this is likely to be a topic we’ll be able to come to alignment on within a community thread. We’re unfortunately in a world where it’s hard to have nuanced discussion, even if we preemptively agree on 95% of topics and want to discuss the remaining 5%, in a public forum.| Framework Community
With all due respect, I think you profoundly misunderstand the nature of my concern here. This is not a “I do not like this distribution” kind of argument. This is a “the people you are sending my money to want me and my friends dead or deported” kind of argument. The “big tent” argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding. Stuff like code of conducts, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let i...| Framework Community
We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software. We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, ...| Framework Community
A number of folks have reached out to us over the last few days to ask that we share more about which organizations we sponsor. This is certainly something we should have been doing already for transparency, and today we’ve published the list of all of our 2025 sponsorships so far, which total around $215,000. We’ll be keeping this list up to date over time. In addition, we would love nominations of a broader set of mission-aligned organizations we can sponsor, and we’ve created a submi...| Framework Community
I highly appreciate the contributions to this project. Awesome. It is generally a good idea to keep politics out of IT and open source. I don’t care about the political views of a founder of a technical project, nor do I care about their ethnicity, skin color, or anything else. That said, none of the people you are referring to are far-right racists.| Framework Community
Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”. Separately, but on the...| Framework Community
DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.| jakelazaroff.com
The last loonies on tech's woke island are getting desperate. It used to be that a wide variety of baseless accusations of racism, misogyny, or white supremacy could inflict grave social and professional consequences for the accused, but that's no longer true. So now they've had to up the ante, and that's why everyone is suddenly a naz...| world.hey.com
