Not sure an OS created to meet the specific need of VC funded startup, created exclusively by employees of that company should be called a "community Linux". It's almost the opposite of that in fact.

You're welcome to join the regular community meeting: https://github.com/wolfi-dev/community https://github.com/wolfi-dev/community We do fully intend for wolfi to be a community project, but it will take some time. We do say on the home page: >What are the plans for long-term Wolfi governance? We intend for Wolfi to be a community-driven project, which means over time it will have multi-vendor governance and maintainers. For now we're focused on building the project and community, and will revisit this in several months when a community has formed.

Totally understand the concern. We've tried to draw a very clear line between Wolfi (the project), and Chainguard Images (our product). They're in different GitHub organizations, have different maintainers, and are documented differently. We (Chainguard) still represent most of the maintainers to Wolfi, but there are external folks too. We're going to need help scaling Wolfi to get it to where we want it to be, and that will require a real community. We've also tried to be very clear on the business model for us, to avoid any "rug pulls" or "bait and switches" later. Here's some more context on that too: https://www.chainguard.dev/unchained/scaling-chainguard-images-with-a-growing-catalog-and-proactive-security-updates https://www.chainguard.dev/unchained/scaling-chainguard-imag...
