I’ve used the Pomodoro technique for over 20 years, from my time as an engineer at NASA to leading teams at Red Hat. Throughout that time, I’ve found that most timer apps are "data silos"—your focus history is locked behind a prop

I think I get the gist of your sentiment, and somewhat agree, but let me clarify. GPL, only enforces redistribution of software you distribute, "to" the people you desteibute it to, aka customers. Most other licenses (MIT, Apache,

I read this comment, said to myself hell yeah, this person gets it, then realized it was my friend JZB!!! On point my friend, on point!

That is correct. We're targeting that work for RHEL 8.5 in November-ish, so you'll likely see that drop in Fedora and other Linux distros sooner.

How is CentOS Stream not a binary compatible distro with RHEL. Technically, CentOS was NEVER binary compatible with RHEL, it's a re-compile, but EPEL works with it. The same is true with Stream. No change there. The change is CS Stre

I've said this so many times, but we wanted to carry Docker in RHEL 8, but we couldn't. We would have been forced to use Moby and it's not a well contributed to project anymore. The whole Docker contributor community has fall

I can explain this. Because docker-compose talks to the docker socket and uses the docker protocol. This was the last piece that we nailed with podman. As of Podman 2.0 with the new REST based API with a Docker compatibility layer, we are v

We're working hard on docker-compose support. With the new Podman 2.0 REST API with a Docker compatibility layer, we are close. Not quite there, but definitely strategically on the roadmap.

Both of you are right. Red Hat pays for Fedora in a lot of ways, but does not control it. There are obviously a lot of personal and professional relationships that gives Red Hat influence over Fedora, but the purse strings are never used to

Small correction, it's ALWAYS been hard to be a mid-sized software company. We were constantly talking about the 5 or so companies that reached 5B with software only. They are rare birds indeed. Red Hat didn't make it without gett

That's pretty much dead on.

Sorry about that. It's my corporate speak :-)

TallGuyShort1, you are awesome :-) Thank you for the defense. We will evaluate adding packages to UBI as necessary, but you are right, we can't give all of RHEL away for free...

by fatherlinnux 7y ago
If there is a particular package you need in UBI, we would be happy to evaluate it. Please file a BZ under RHEL 7 or 8 under the ubi-* Product Component at http://bugzilla.redhat.com

The exclusion of python36 from the UBI8 table is a mistake. I am working on getting it updated.

by fatherlinnux 7y ago
UBI lives in between community and product. It's a community thing if run without a subscription and a product if run on RHEL/OpenShift.

by fatherlinnux 7y ago
You get updates with UBI, free of charge.

by fatherlinnux 7y ago
Because "FROM centos:8" can't exist until after "FROM ubi8" exists. UBI will offer betas for RHEL 9, 10, 11, etc. It solves a chicken and egg problem for partners who need early access.

We are working on it. We provide the openjdk package in UBI now, you can build a container image from the base. I plan on publishing a blog entry soon, explaining how. Also, we are working on releasing a pre-built image.

by fatherlinnux 8y ago
Perhaps, you caught news of something I haven't seen, but AFAIK, "container" is still defined in user space. Talking to Eric Biederman, that's what the kennel team wants - people to experiment in user space, remixing ker

See my three rules above. Engineering is a zero sum game, even in open source. Nomad has a very dark future. Single vendor, no community, very little usage, no competitors adopting the tech. If your competitors don't adopt your tech is

I agree with your pragmatism (and admire it). I would only urge you to add a couple of tools to your toolbelt for analysis: 1. Open source politics aka is the project viable? 2. Where's the money coming from? Aka, what products/co

I agree, there was a gap, especially for about 2 years. But, even when that gap existed, it was pretty clear that the cloud providers (and other software companies) would build/enable a one click Kube distros. As the cloud providers ad

You could have if HashiCorp had beaten Docker to market with a simple VagrantHub and bud tool... It could have easily been VMs instead of containers. IMHO, it was all the packaging...
