Please do read TDF's side of the story as well: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/01/comment-...
I read it, and was hoping I would be more sympathetic to their side, but it was essentially 'they violated the rules our newly added non-contributor board members set, and by those rules, we kicked them out'. Essentially this 100% confirms the Collabora story, just elaborates a bit on how the administrative takeover was done.
Not just this, it the way the vote was announced seems very, very bad. Italo may have found legal issues, but one of the things he said was that legal action was being taken by Collabora. That… doesn’t seem to be the case.
Italo and co removed some very dedicated contributors from the TDF. What an absolute disaster.
