GNOME Foundation removes Sonny Piers from board without explanation
The GNOME Foundation Board voted to remove Sonny Piers as a member of the Board of Directors for cause, at a Special Meeting on May 17th, 2024, following the procedure outlined in the GNOME Bylaws, and remove him from all committees.

Sonny has been removed from the board of directors but his GitLab account also has been suspended. The second thing is more concerning for me, because the board is a position of greater responsibility and the GitLab instance is just a place to put one's code and to work on projects.

That's going to be hard given he's had his GitLab account suspended.
His main projects are on GitHub.
