Post-Mortem: OpenTaco using code from OTF without attribution

*UPDATE: seems the reddit discussion got removed (I guess the discussion got too interesting...)
Here's the project page on Digger's website:

Igor Zalutski made bold claims about turning it into the open standard.
This requires wide adoption and involvement in the project, especially to gain enterprise trust. Are the other OpenTofu backers bought into this? Curious to see who will join Digger on the project.

𝙳𝚘𝚝𝚊𝚗 𝙷𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚝𝚜 ✈️ KCD Poland 🇵🇱 @horovits.bsky.social · 12d

After #OpenTofu, here's the next response to taking #Terraform off open source: #OpenTacos
(switching from Asian to Latin food? that's bold)

The Digger folks launched the project to tackle state management and #RBAC at scale.

An interesting discussion on Reddit:

🎂 Happy 10th bday #Jaeger! 🥳
"The move to #OpenTelemetry and the release of Jaeger v2 represent a significant maturation of the Jaeger project. The focus has shifted from building a self-contained system to creating a core component within a larger, collaborative ecosystem."

Did you know that when you experiment with the #OpenTelemetry Community Demo, you get to try out the #OpenSearch backend for log analytics?

The vanilla @opentelemetry.io demo comes shipped with Jaeger for trace analytics, Prometheus for metrics analytics, and OpenSearch for log analytics backends
