"Going forward, all NGINX projects will be born and hosted on GitHub because that’s where the developer and open source communities work. [..] We pledge to be more open to contributions, more transparent in our stewardship, and more approachable to the community. We will follow all expected conventions for modern open source work and will be rebuilding our GitHub presence, adding Codes of Conduct to all our projects, and paying close attention to community feedback." "we recognize that many critical features which developers now view as table stakes are on the wrong side of the paywall for NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus. For example, DNS service discovery is essential for modern apps. Our promise is to make those critical features free by adding them to NGINX Open Source. We haven’t yet decided on all of the features to move and we want your input. Tell us how to optimize your experience as developers. We are listening." "The NGINX Kubernetes Gateway is also something of an olive branch we’re extending to the community. We realize it complicated matters when we created both a commercial and an open source Ingress controller for Kubernetes, both different from the community Ingress solution (also built on NGINX). The range of choices confused the community and put us in a bad position. It’s pretty clear that the Gateway API is going to take the place of the Ingress controller in the Kubernetes architecture. So we are changing our approach and will make the NGINX Kubernetes Gateway – which will be offered only as an open source product – the focal point of our Kubernetes networking efforts (in lockstep with the evolving standard). It will both integrate and extend into other NGINX products and optimize the developer experience on Kubernetes." It sounds pretty honest and positive to me. And I'm the first person to call bullshit on corporate doublespeak. Most other companies would just put more money into B2B sales rather than courting OSS devs/free users and admitting when their strategy was stupid (actually their language is evasive, but w/e). Of course hindsight's 20/20; let's see if they make good on these promises.
