>We urge HashiCorp to reconsider and switch Terraform back to an open source license, avoiding fragmentation of the community.

Hasn't that ship sailed? Even if Hashicorp did that, would the community still be willing to mend this breakup, or declare that trust was lost?

Thanks for noticing, we need to update the org description.

My first thought was Tofu-dreg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofu-dreg_project) which isn't really the association you want.

As much as I actually like tofu the food, I'd agree that OpenTofu isn't a great name.

If your experience of tofu is only the above, I completely understand your distaste for it. But I think you owe it to yourself to try better tofu, and not as a meat alternative. Tofu on its own doesn't have much flavour, but that's the point, you need to marinate it. Google can give you some tips (squeeze the water out, then soak it in something delicious -- hell, soak it in meat juices!), but I highly recommend trying some good, low moisture smoked firm tofu. It's so good, I often just snack on it, slicing it like a sausage. But it's also great in things like burritos to add a smokey kick. Try it!

So does terraforming, fwiw.

Is terraforming even a thing outside of the realm of SF? I can't say I've ever seen it depicted as anything but positive, since it's taking unlivable planets and making them livable.

There are plenty of examples of terraforming going/having gone wrong or being abandoned. My first associations are Snowpiercer (overdoing the fight against climate change) and Stellaris (abandoned machinery on planets).

Doesn't the heading say 'The open source infrastructure as code tool' on loading https://opentofu.org/ ?

Yeah, but what is 'infrastructure as code'? For anyone not already in the know, this phrase doesn't mean "managing and provisioning data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools." (quote from Wikipedia), it just means nothing at all.

Yeah, but what is a 'computer'? For anyone not already in the know, this term doesn't mean "a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation) automatically." (quote from Wikipedia), it just means nothing at all.

You funny.

Edit: I don't want to sound dismissive, so let me explain the difference. Anyone coming to the website will be using a computer of some kind, and even if they for some weird reason don't, the verb "compute" does give a hint at what a computer might be. None of this is true for "infrastructure-as-code".

> a meat alternative missing any kind of taste, smell or texture

1. It's traditionally not a meat alternative. 2. One should try properly cooked tofu before judging that it's "missing any kind of taste, smell or texture".
