Hidde de Vries explains his resignation from the Fronteers board following a member vote to hire an external company (run by former conference volunteers) to handle conference logistics. He clarifies a poorly worded tweet, outlines the arguments for and against the proposal, and shares his personal decade-long history with the Dutch web development association. While accepting the democratic outcome, he disagreed that prioritizing paid conference organization would harm Fronteers' broader volunteer-driven activities like meetups and workshops. He committed to finishing his treasurer duties and workshop responsibilities before fully stepping away.
