tl;dr
zzz
eyedeekay and Lance James join the StormyCloud board of directors
zzz
StormyCloud is now the official tax-deductible recipient for I2P donations
orignal
does idk have to be ddoxed?
zzz
StormyCloud focuses its mission to directly support I2P development and broader community for the long term
orignal
an anomymous person can't be a member of board
StormyCloud
We will take care of idk
orignal
is StormyCloud is an offcial member of I2P may I suggest to take care about "Inclusion" section at I2P's site?
zzz
please direct all questions to StormyCloud
orignal
basically guys stop shaming yourselves
orignal
yes that's my question if it will be taken care
snex
how does one earmark a donation to be for i2p? stormycloud.org just has a generic donation page
zzz
StormyCloud and Java I2P will now be working more closely together but are still independent organizations
orignal
than what's the change? how would it affect I2P?
orignal
and why do you need idk to be member of stomycloud's board?
StormyCloud
snex, we are working on a new I2P website which will have a dedicated donate page/option. But all funding regardless if it comes in stormycloud.org vs I2P will to used towards I2P.
StormyCloud
original, we are here to support I2P from both an infrastructure perspective and financial perspective. We are here to assist I2P and allow them to focus their time and energy on development.
orignal
it looks like that Java-I2P is owner by stormycloud now
orignal
please answer who is the owner of I2P project?
StormyCloud
We are all one big happy family, we dont "own" anything.
orignal
then why are are talking about board?
orignal
board means ownership, I'm sorry guy
orignal
s
orignal
the board appoints CEO not opposite
StormyCloud
idk and lance joined the board to assist in operations, nothing is changing in regards to I2P.
eyedeekay
Our corresponding blog: geti2p.net/en/blog/post/2025/11/01/stormycloud-joins-i2p
eyedeekay
And yes we were very clear about StormyCloud *not* directing the project itself
eyedeekay
Nor any individual contributor
orignal
eyedeekay again, who is an owner of Java-I2P project now?
orignal
StormyCloud if they joined StormyCloud why it's big news for I2P?
eyedeekay
Nobody owns it. Or everybody. Check the license directory. That's who owns it. So mostly public domain with a cc0 backup, some MIT, some BSD, some Apache, some GPL. Ownership of software is defined by licenses.
orignal
then why it's even being announced?
orignal
or it's like a canary test?
StormyCloud
to be transparent and let people know?
orignal
great, thank you for info
orignal
but zzz menationed it's a big change
StormyCloud
Its big in the sense that, zzz and idk can focus on development and not have to worry about infrastructure, raising money, or project management. Despite I2P being an open source free project its not free to run and fund. We are here to assist the project.
zzz
well said.
orignal
ok. I2P is managed by stormycloud now, itn't it?
StormyCloud
Have you ever talked to zzz, nobody can manage him :P
zzz
we remain an open source project, loosely organized
orignal
it stromycloud capable to make changes on I2P's site?
zzz
not going to debate if the news is "big" or not, or if I oversold it, y'all are welcome to your opinions
zzz
I wouldn't think this is some great opportunity for you to re-raise ancient objections to our website
orignal
you told you have nothing to do with the site
orignal
is stormyclloud a right person now?
orignal
since infrastructure is thiers
orignal
and my opinion
orignal
nothing to do with i2pd
orignal
i2pd is not involved in this
zzz
correct
StormyCloud
Are there any improvements you wish to see on the I2P website @orignal?
orignal
Iclusion section
orignal
remove statement that you support LGBT
orignal
*** away ***
zzz
he wants to know who is in charge now so he can restart his troll campaign ))
orignal
troll?
orignal
it it?
StormyCloud
send me a DM orignal, we can talk about this issue and see what we can do. Im here to help build bridges and allow I2P to be the best it can be
orignal
no issue for me but good to know who is "I2P boss" now
cumlord
is whoever runs the site the boss?
snex
i notice there is still no mention of i2p being welcoming to people who like pinepple on pizza
RN
nice clear announcements!
RN
*** dances a celebration dance ***
StormyCloud
snex we are NOT accepting of those people.... pineapple does not belong on pizza 🤣
RN
StormyCloud, I like the artwork in your announcement. perfect mix of whimsical and relevant
StormyCloud
Thanks RN
cumlord
Pineapple on pizza people 🤮
orignal
whoever I can address issues to
