Whenever we publish something, the way we publish it conveys a
message, along with the message of its contents.

Since you're on the GNOME Foundation board, people will tend to
associate your message with the GNOME Foundation -- even if you say
that you're expressing only your own views.  They will assume that
surely the Foundation's views can't disagree much with your message,
even if it doesn't agree 100%.

So if the implicit message is, "Run the non-free JS code in this
page", that will tend to rub off on the GNOME Foundation.

Would you please take care not to publish in ways that send that
message?

For instance, you could take down that slide show, then look for
a method of posting the photos that doesn't have the problem.

I sent you, off the list, a suggestion.
