Supporting Igor Sysoyev

[Yuri Konotopov <ykonotopov gnome org>]

Hello, GNOME.


2 days ago russian company Rambler Group started a lawsuite [1][2] 
against Igor Sysoyev - a software developer and creator of free and 
opensource web-server Nginx - trying to challenge rights for Nginx.

Tomorrow russian IT community starts "Nginx blackout" action to support 
Igor Sysoyev - websites joined to this action will show "Welcome to the 
Internet without Nginx" message for 30 minutes started at 12:00 MSK 
(UTC+3). Example Nginx configuration for this action available at Github 
[3].

Nginx is used in production extensions.gnome.org for an year [4] and I 
used it for development of e.g.o. at least for 3 years now.


I want to ask GNOME community to support Igor Sysoyev by joining "Nginx 
blackout" action and would be glad to add "Nginx blackout" configuration 
to e.g.o. with agreement of community.
