One thing I would say about SUSE - they are never mediocre. (nor what I would usually consider a behemoth) The engineering team inside SUSE are exceptional - they do amazing things, and build really interesting features. The product plannin

Red Hat is great - they have done some great things, however - Heart, Mind and Soul of the Open Source community is possibly a bit of hyperbole. and - SUSE is (slightly) older than RedHat, so I am not sure you can say RedHat inspired them :

I was talking about the GP comparing their OpenStack install experience to something like Rancher, which is not an apples to apples comparison. - on a side note - OpenStack and Kubernetes are not competitors, they are quite complementary co

Hopefully, but Cluster API relies on something like Rancher (or AKS/EkS/GKE) to do the deployment underneath it - it still kind of outsources the life cycle.

K8S is a lot easier than OpenStack to install, but when comparing something like Rancher to OpenStack, it should be compared to something like OpenStack Ansible, or a vendor version of OpenStack (RIP HPE Helion) which were a lot easier than

Replacing nodes, helping repairing broken things, upgrading the control plane, upgrading etcd etc.

The real value is the Install / Life Cycle orchestration - vanilla K8S has really marked that firmly as "not their problem" - which is the correct thing for them to do.

Can you? I am pretty sure that the rules about IAP make it very clear you have to charge the same price on and off the app store.

I don't think you can use any of basecamp features for free. [1] They make money, that is not up for debate. (and yes, I know, their platform, their rules, etc etc, but nothing about that says people cannot fight it, and make it poli

I have been on GitHub for years, and had no idea there was a trending page at all ... but then again I don't tend to "discover" new repos as a hobby. (There is a separate rant about using github stars as a metric of, well, an

Day job, at least somewhat related to my open source work. I have been quite lucky that most of my employers have supported my open source work, from time allocated to it during "working hours", to funding conference attendance.

I like this a lot - trying to store diagrams that look good, without sticking a visio file into a git repo is something I keep an eye out for.

I think the new one is OK for a quick overview, but I still prefer email. Sieve + this rule[1] files emails from each repo in a folder (following org structure), and I can flag things I need to come back to, mark things I don't care ab

"Trunk based development" It is fine, unless you do a lot of back ports or bug fixes for older releases, at which point the version branches are very useful.

I really like how the OpenStack project does releases - it has a ton of tooling, but for people who are deciding what to release, it is super simple. e.g. - the latest RC of a project I maintain is L10-14 on https://opendev.org&#

Those sort of emails are really hard to deal with, especially when it is something you spent a lot of time working on. I like the idea from the talk of just blocking them outright.

I just spec'd out a HP Z6 to the min spec of the Mac Pro - it came to about $4000 (and that is EU prices, I am sure the US prices are less) - so 20% difference. An maxed out z8 is $50k - but that is way over what most people need, or y

I am biased[1], but the OpenStack story is pretty good. Running it is always going to be more than "apt install openstack" - but there has been pretty good improvements in installers. Juju (linked below), OpenStack-Ansible, or ope
