A bit more detail from a GigaOM piece [1] on this: According to Noah Kantrowitz, a former Chef colleague and a recent critic of how the company has been managing its open source community, Vargo’s work on the Chef-centric workflow management tool Berkshelf caused some commotion among certain Chef tool users who advocated using a different workflow method; these people supposedly felt that Berkshelf had somehow affected their daily work habits and routines and their frustrations drove them to react harshly. Vargo apparently “ended up at the center of this storm of disagreements.” “There have been people who have gotten very far over the line and it has made me sad,” said Kantrowitz. “Hurling terrible epithets at people is unacceptable.” [1] https://gigaom.com/2014/08/27/chef-engineer-leaves-the-company-after-receiving-death-threats-from-its-open-source-community/ https://gigaom.com/2014/08/27/chef-engineer-leaves-the-compa...
