schestowitz>>Nov 06 07:29
schestowitz>> Thanks for reaching out. I installed Podman in Raspi OS about a yearNov 06 07:29
schestowitz>> ago. It was apparent from the documentation that it was mostly a Red HatNov 06 07:29
schestowitz>> thing, by design. Over time, the second-class citizen status of DebianNov 06 07:29
schestowitz>> might become more profound.Nov 06 07:29
schestowitz> Nov 06 07:29
schestowitz> I can understand that impression.  Documentation is the biggest weakNov 06 07:29
schestowitz> point of the project.  Currently, we do not have a person working onNov 06 07:29
schestowitz> documentation and we try hard to improve on that but almost allNov 06 07:29
schestowitz> contributors (and maintainers) are developers, so the documentationNov 06 07:29
schestowitz> mostly boils down to man pages.Nov 06 07:29
schestowitzIBM does not understand the community. I wrote many articles about this over the past 1-2 years. Fedora is crumbling, CentOS is just a brand now, and IBM thinks it can manage Red Hat 'on the cheap':Nov 06 07:29

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.theregister.com | Red Hat to hire fewer senior engineers after budget frozen • The RegisterNov 06 07:29
schestowitzSo somehow I doubt IBM will fix the documentation.Nov 06 07:29
schestowitzWorse yet -- if Podman does not help sell a lot more IBM subscriptions, then IBM might ask the project to 'prove its worth'.Nov 06 07:29
schestowitzLately, all the IBM sites (or Red Hat sires) have been pushing Ansible and Podman very hard.Nov 06 07:29

schestowitz> since last year.  I worked closely with the main packager of DebianNov 06 07:30

schestowitz> do not have a good solution yet.  We try to get resources to improveNov 06 07:30
schestowitz> and also work with the community but it's not where we want it to beNov 06 07:30
schestowitz> yet. We try hard to be an open community, so I feel a bit of pain whenNov 06 07:30
schestowitz> the project is perceived as a vendor lock-in.  Do you have suggestionsNov 06 07:30
schestowitz> to improve the docs?Nov 06 07:30
schestowitzMaking it about the docs is a bit of a red herring. I worry more about stewardship.Nov 06 07:30

schestowitz>> That's just IBM being IBM. Jim Whitehurst left, as did many others (alsoNov 06 07:31

schestowitzIBM is going to 'bluewash' Red Hat over time. They want money. It's the language they understand.Nov 06 07:31
schestowitz> If you're interested, feel free to join the regular community meetingsNov 06 07:31

schestowitzHi ESR,Nov 06 07:46
schestowitzI was wondering if you would mind if we made a copy of the Halloween Documents, seeing that OSI removed them and we could really use a copy in Geminispace/Gemini protocol as well.Nov 06 07:46
