However, for me ( and not only me ), it’s 100% doubtful that an organization whose main mission — to popularize Linux — does not show by example what it promotes. Nuances and accidents, of course, are also possible, but:

  1. this is not the first time - the famous Linux developer Matthew Garrett wrote 4 years ago that Jim used Mac OS X;
  2. Twitter questions / comments on how it happened, Jim decided to keep quiet (more than a week has passed) .

So I created an online petition calling for the Linux Foundation and the Jim Zemlin for two things:

  1. Publish an official statement about why this happened and what the organization generally thinks about the actual use of Linux by its public figures (especially in the year “Linux on desktops”).
  2. Responsibly refer to the main software used at official events of the organization promoting Open Source.
