Once upon a time Freenode #openshift-dev was vibrant with loads of activity and 
publicly available logs. I jumped in asked questions and Red Hatters came from 
the woodwork and some amazing work was done.

Perfect.

Slack not so much. Since Monday there have been three comments with two reply 
threads. All this with 524 people. Crickets.

Please explain how this is better. I’d really love to know why IRC ceased. It 
worked and worked brilliantly.

There are mentions of sigs and bits and pieces, but absolutely no progress. I 
fail to see why anyone would want to regress. OCP4 maybe brilliant, but as I 
said in a private email, without upstream there is no culture or insurance 
we’ve come to love from decades of heart and soul.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is essentially getting to the point the community is 
being abandoned. Man years of work acknowledged with the roadmap pulled out 
from under us.

I completely understand the disruption caused by the acquisition. But, after 
kicking the tyres and our meeting a few weeks back, it’s been pretty quiet. The 
clock is ticking on corporate long-term strategies. Some of those corporates 
spent plenty of dosh on licensing OCP and hiring consultants to implement.

Red Hat need to lead from the front. Get IRC revived, throw us a bone, and have 
us put our money where our mouth is — we’ll get involved. We’re begging for it.

Until then we’re running out of patience via clientele and will need to start a 
community effort perhaps by forking OKD3 and integrating upstream. I am not 
interested in doing that. We shouldn’t have to.

Cheers,

Justin Cook
