In its blog post Red Hat specifically called out downstream distributions for not contributing anything to the development of RHEL and that they should be making fixes to CentOS Stream. Well, this is a fix for CentOS Stream and Red Hat still doesn't care. They just don't want community contributions.

Maybe you should familiarize yourself with CentOS Stream and its purpose.

Agree on point of detail, but the "drama" is the reason for the fuss. Redhat's communication, especially to the community that helped build and support it, has always been patchy, but over the past few years it's been apalling. As others have pointed out, they've insulted a lot of us, specifically for not contributing upstream - so it's not unexpected for them to be called on it when someone does.

I think the EL sphere as a whole (including RHEL and all up and downstreams) is getting drastically weakened directly because of Redhat's poor decision making, and that's a shame for all of us.

But it is also another stab in the community, they took centos that was a community project for them, then transformed this project that was downstream to upstream, then called all other downstream distros a negative net worth cause they don't engage in the process of RHEL, then blocked the acess to this distros to the downstream, then reject the work of this ppl they called net negative without a decent process.

What actually red hat wants?

Centos now is only a beta branch? Ppl who wants derive from centos should be fixing everything downstream and duplicate work cause centos now is just an internal beta from red hat? If yes, why they took the project from the community? I'm not a rpm based distros user but I totally understand why ppl are pissed.

Its funny how podcasters and commenters seem to have taken Redhat's spin about "contributing value to the community" seriously, while to the rest of us the whole thing was obviously only about money (same as all the follow-ups from other parties... I would say "including Alma" but that would probably deserve its separate debate).

— "we don't like people ripping off our work without any added value"

— "Here, let me push this to your staging environment, totally breaking your quality process"

— "No"

— "Well, what the hell do you want broo?"

I don't think they have ever hidden the fact this is about money. I don't like the fact this is about money, but the fact that others were cloning and selling their efforts for a cheaper price is awful.

Fuck it, let's go Alma!

Can you prove that your joining Canonical (picture proof), as you know, people can be anything in the internet while they're in their parent's basement.

If you are, what type of interview questions do they ask?
