The behaviour of Joyent towards Ben Nordhuis left a very bad taste in my mouth last year. So I checked on the contributions to libuv [1] and it looks like he's back on the project. I wonder what happened? [1] https://github.com/libuv/libuv/commits?author=bnoordhuis

Joyent received a lot of flak because people believe that Ben was a Joyent employee (he actually worked for Strongloop). Joyent came out with a post separating themselves from Ben, saying that they were in support of gender neutral language:

Ben Noordhuis reverted a commit that had removed gendered language from libuv documentation: https://github.com/joyent/libuv/commit/804d40e Joyent received a lot of flak because people believe that Ben was a Joyent employee (he actually worked for Strongloop).

To date, Bryan Cantrill remains CTO of Joyent. The corporate position appears to be that blatant homophobia by employees is acceptable, but improper pronouns are terminable offenses.

His crime was the tone of voice. I don't think it's worth forcing someone off a project for that.

I think that's quite one sided. He rejected the commit because the author didn't sign the contributors agreement. He was following the rules. His crime was the tone of voice. I don't think it's worth forcing someone off a project for that.
IMO argentpyro explained the incident in a pretty neutral manner.

Which is all well and good, but the author of that blog post, the one who stated he would not hesitate to fire Ben if he were an employee, has no problem mocking bisexuals in public presentations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGkVM1B5NuI#t=3059 To date, Bryan Cantrill remains CTO of Joyent.
