In my normal rumblings around digg, I have stumbled across this posting from Daniel Robbins, who is better known for putting together the Gentoo Linux Distribution. Now being a huge fan of Gentoo and in particular of its portage system, I was pretty curious to find out what the originator of the project thought about the direction of the Gentoo Foundation. Apparently he's not that pleased, in his post he talked about how the foundation he helped setup is more or less getting cold feet about the project and their plans to move Gentoo's intellectual property to another foundation. Daniel's post goes into more detail but needless to say he's kinda ticked, check out his post here.
After reading the post Daniel is referring to (here) I can kind of see why he's pissed. The thread goes on talking about why they should move to another foundation, without really explaining much on what they need to do to become a better foundation. It ends up sounding like, this is too much work for us so we think it should go to someone else that's not us. Now I'm a huge fan of Gentoo, but as of late things seem to be slowing way down, which might be the reasoning for their post. So even though I'm disappointed in this posting I'm still hoping the community will respond to this and get the project rolling again.
