I vote to accept the proposal of the Boost Foundation.
I am neither affiliated with the C++ Alliance nor with the Boost Foundation.
I am the developer of the Histogram library, which sees a lot of use in the scientific community.
My personal values are aligned with the Boost Foundation and its supporters. My observation is that the C++ Alliance uses money to gain influence over this community, for example, by paying some community members to work on projects, and through its donations into the infrastructure.
Do you consider it a negative to sponsor work on projects and infrastructure? I want Boost to
be a non-hierarchical community based on volunteer work, inclusivity, transparency, and consensus. The community is developing away from this ideal, as the C++ Alliance has taken an increasingly dominant role. While my decision here may not change that trend, I cannot support a proposal which would further increases their influence.
