It's not only less likely to have rug pulls in open source foundations, it's not really possible. Some foundations like CNCF have stood up when companies even tried this: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/05/01/protecting-nats-and-the-...

I think LY has a great user interface, and I didn't mean to dismiss your amazing work! That's what makes open source great.

I think Headlamp is less know but now that it's part of Kubernetes SIG UI and the kubernetes dashboard is essentially being deprecated, you'll see a lot more headlamp usage in the future imho and I think headlamp can benefit from more awareness and getting more folks involved too!

For those who don't know https://headlamp.dev already exists and is in CNCF.

If you ever wanted a home for Ghostty at the Linux Foundation for more support, we'd happily work with you and your community: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/projects/hosting

No one organization in the world funds the LF in a way that is more than 1% of the total LF revenue... it has nearly ~2000 members across the world. You can usually get some of this from the LF Annual Report: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/publications/linux...

Last I checked, Keycloak has increased in activity since joining CNCF...

https://keycloak.devstats.cncf.io/d/1/activity-repository-gr...

CNCF has probably 20x the funding of the ASF and is a different organization that spends millions of dollars on security audits, events and more, you can read about it in our annual report: https://www.cncf.io/reports/cncf-annual-report-2023/

Also we actively remove/prune projects that aren't active... we will probably archive ~10 this year https://www.cncf.io/project-metrics/

I hope that OpenFeature changes the feature flagging space the same way that OpenTelemetry impacted the o11y space, we are overdue for this (in my biased opinion)

Apache isn't a silver bullet... there are plenty of Apache projects where the individuals are compromised mostly from one company and hide behind the veneer of the ASF... where they are working on the projects per their employment. Gerrymandering is definitely possible and has happened in the past, that's why you have to look at governance and ownership of the marks/build systems etc: https://www.aniszczyk.org/2019/10/08/open-source-gerrymander...

I actually prefer the approach of LF, EF or CNCF where it's transparent where folks work for and your affiliation is disclosed upfront. In the CNCF for example, we separate out technical project decisions (maintainers) from funding decisions (members). That is healthier than blending it all in one at the ASF imho and having no idea where person is working for imho.

Hating is a sign of success in some ways :)

In some ways, it's nice to see companies move to use mostly open source infrastructure, a lot of it coming from CNCF (https://landscape.cncf.io), ASF and other organizations out there (on top of the random things on github).

It could! I've been pushing them to expand the LFAI landscape to be broader, I'd reach out to https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibrahimhaddad/ who owns the LFAI landscape.

FYI there's an LF AI Landscape which basically duplicates a bit of this work

https://landscape.lfai.foundation

They have graduated levels like CNCF :)

Would love to collaborate with the author of this as I help run CNCF/LF landscape infrastructure.

Any thoughts of contributing this upstream directly or to CNCF?

We would be interested in hosting and supporting this type of work.

A mature open source project may be governed under an open source foundation which usually gives it a charter https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/charter.md#3-va...

... and/or set of values: https://kubernetes.io/community/values/

There's also a lot of open source guides here https://todogroup.org/resources/guides/ that may help you if you're looking at building mature open source projects.

Also check out https://o3d.foundation and Godot as options... open source gaming engines should be at the heart of modern game development imho, just like Linux is the heart of many infrastructure things we do

FYI 99% of CNCF projects use DCO, only a handful still use CLA but we give projects a CHOICE in the matter. I prefer DCO personally because it's a lower barrier to entry for contributors (e.g., not formal legal agreement to sign and be reviewed by lawyers)

https://chooseafoundation.com exists but not fully up to date.

As someone who has been involved in many open source foundations over the years, they all have their pros/cons. If you are looking for the most customized approach, the Linux Foundation (LF) is probably the most customizable as they have build hundreds of entities that many people may not think of being part of the LF... CNCF... GraphQL Foundation... R Consortium... OpenJS Foundation... Overture Maps Foundation... LF is really "foundation as a service" and they are best at ecosystem building from my biased perspective.

There are other foundations out there with their own advantages... ASF is very lightweight and pretty much accepts anything open source as long as you adhere to their fairly simple rules... EF is great if you have a need for a European base etc
