But, if I am reading this correctly, then this means that the Boost Foundation is actively avoiding engagement with the Boost community. If the board of a foundation can't engage with the community they literally share a name with, perhaps it's time to move on? I can't fault the foundation for divesting Boost assets, and reorganizing into say the Beman Project Foundation as that is now clearly the focus area, and place where you see the ability to affect change. I would not waste my time volunteering on something I felt was against me either.
