I'd love the opportunity to opt-in to a severance package! Can start interviewing over the next 3 months and then have paid time off before you start your new gig.

Being good at using terraform is very different than being an opensource maintainer and community builder. I'd love to emphasize that many of us tried to contribute to Terraform in the past, but HashiCorp became somewhat hesitant t

Trust the foundation that takes over the project But part of the value the foundation is pitching is that it has companies donating engineering time to keep the project well managed. My concern is spacelift and some of the other com

I'm concerned that people who do not have a provable track record for contributing to terraform believe they can fork and be good stewards of the project. Looks like the top contributors to the foundation are: - https://
