Since I've had confirmation this is real, I'll reshare it now. It looks like Sonny Piers was removed from the GNOME Foundation board, no one publicly knows why, on one is talking about it, this is a complete mystery https://discourse.gnome.org/t/updates-to-the-gnome-foundation-board-of-directors-roster/22201 

 This is disturbing and trully damages the Foundation reputation. He has been elected, the reason for his removal must be stated.
