Eelco Dolstra steps down from NixOS Foundation board

The NixOS Foundation board

announced on April 30 that Eelco Dolstra is stepping down from the board
following the recent calls for his resignation.

Eelco is the principal author of Nix and undoubtedly a central figure in the
ecosystem that grew around it. We confirm that Eelco showed no intention to be
perceived as or act like the BDFL [Benevolent Dictator for Life]
of the Nix ecosystem, or the Nix code base. To
commit to that in a timely manner, he has decided to formally step down from the
board.

The board also announced its intent to set up new, explicit governance for the
project, answerable to the community:

We will appoint a constitutional assembly within the next 14 days.
Its task will be to set up a new governance structure, run by the
community, that is capable of serving the community's needs. Once
established, we will delegate our power to institutions within that
new structure. This entire process will take place in a public space,
such that it's traceable for anyone concerned. We are committed to
listening to everyone who may help with solving the problems the
community is facing.
