Is CNCF new Apache foundation? Looks like everyone dumps their stuff there. Does not look promising. Am I missing something? Probably RedHat paid salary to podman developers, but who will pay salary to them now?

I'm sure Red Hat will continue to pay Podman developers, just like they continue to pay developers for the other upstream projects that are hosted at CNCF (like Kubernetes).

I'm we can all think of some projects "abandoned" to foundations through the years, but in general, I'd call getting core infrastructure out of the control of a single company and into a place with more transparent and democratic governance a good thing.

Maybe open source foundations should be more selective with the projects. I'm thinking of Oracle dumping OpenOffice, although it was obvious that LibreOffice is the way to go.
