Not even to e.g. something from the Apache Foundation? Or Eclipse? Or CNCF?
Doesn't the Linux Foundation take care of all that?
I thought they joined the linux foundation?
Isn’t that what orgs like the Apache Software foundation do?
Perhaps the CNCF or linux foundation could take over technical stewardship? Apache?
Is CNCF new Apache foundation? Looks like everyone dumps their stuff there. Does not look promising. Am I missing something? Probably RedHat paid salary to podman developers, but who will pay salary to them now?
Any idea why this fork has the support of the linux foundation in favour of any other?
The Apache foundation can take it
Has such an argangment ever worked in practice? I have read here on HN about how the Apache brand is used as a dumping ground for zombie projects. Why would it be different for the Linux Foundation?
Linux Foundation and RedHat are behind this. Might actually have legs!
