I’ve used the Pomodoro technique for over 20 years, from my time as an engineer at NASA to leading teams at Red Hat. Throughout that time, I’ve found that most timer apps are "data…

I think I get the gist of your sentiment, and somewhat agree, but let me clarify. GPL, only enforces redistribution of software you distribute, "to" the people you desteibute it to…

I read this comment, said to myself hell yeah, this person gets it, then realized it was my friend JZB!!! On point my friend, on point!

That is correct. We're targeting that work for RHEL 8.5 in November-ish, so you'll likely see that drop in Fedora and other Linux distros sooner.

How is CentOS Stream not a binary compatible distro with RHEL. Technically, CentOS was NEVER binary compatible with RHEL, it's a re-compile, but EPEL works with it. The same is tru…

I've said this so many times, but we wanted to carry Docker in RHEL 8, but we couldn't. We would have been forced to use Moby and it's not a well contributed to project anymore. Th…

I can explain this. Because docker-compose talks to the docker socket and uses the docker protocol. This was the last piece that we nailed with podman. As of Podman 2.0 with the ne…

We're working hard on docker-compose support. With the new Podman 2.0 REST API with a Docker compatibility layer, we are close. Not quite there, but definitely strategically on the…

Both of you are right. Red Hat pays for Fedora in a lot of ways, but does not control it. There are obviously a lot of personal and professional relationships that gives Red Hat in…

Small correction, it's ALWAYS been hard to be a mid-sized software company. We were constantly talking about the 5 or so companies that reached 5B with software only. They are rare…

That's pretty much dead on.

I do :-)

Sorry about that. It's my corporate speak :-)

TallGuyShort1, you are awesome :-) Thank you for the defense. We will evaluate adding packages to UBI as necessary, but you are right, we can't give all of RHEL away for free...

If there is a particular package you need in UBI, we would be happy to evaluate it. Please file a BZ under RHEL 7 or 8 under the ubi-* Product Component at http://bugzilla.redhat.c…

The exclusion of python36 from the UBI8 table is a mistake. I am working on getting it updated.

UBI lives in between community and product. It's a community thing if run without a subscription and a product if run on RHEL/OpenShift.

You get updates with UBI, free of charge.

Because "FROM centos:8" can't exist until after "FROM ubi8" exists. UBI will offer betas for RHEL 9, 10, 11, etc. It solves a chicken and egg problem for partners who need early ac…

We are working on it. We provide the openjdk package in UBI now, you can build a container image from the base. I plan on publishing a blog entry soon, explaining how. Also, we are…

Perhaps, you caught news of something I haven't seen, but AFAIK, "container" is still defined in user space. Talking to Eric Biederman, that's what the kennel team wants - people t…

Most people nothing about technology and don't want to. Not sure where that argument goes, but I am guessing jobless...

+1. Back in the day, we used to mirror all of CPAN, because even as a young buck, I saw the gap in rebuilding apps without the source copied...
