Probably an insignificant detail when considering the entire portfolio of subsidiaries and services under VMWare, but I guess there are some pretty notable projects included in this acquisition.
Especially from the Pivotal portfolio such as RabbitMQ, GreenPlum, Spring, Hibernate, etc... although I'm sure most here couldn't care less about Spring related projects.
- martypitt 4y agoI do, and this was what sprung to my mind. I feel like Pivotal has been doing a great job lately - especially with Spring. I'd hate to see Broadcomm mess with this, but it feels highly possible.
- zkirill 4y agoWe are a tiny bootstrapped startup. Spring is critical for us and we rely on RabbitMQ. This news is concerning to say the least.
- gunnarmorling 4y agoHibernate isn't part of the Pivotal portfolio. I'm sure there are contributions by Pivotal employees, but the core Hibernate engineering team is employed by Red Hat, who also own the trademark, etc. Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat and used to be part of the Hibernate team
- chrisjc 4y agoAh yes, now I recall! I had concerns that Vertx was bundled into that portfolio too, but RH to rescue again.
