Dear community,
|
||
|
||
I’m really happy to share something that has been in the works for quite some time.
|
||
Yesterday (August 31st), a [press release](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press-release/ent-joins-the-linux-foundation/)
|
||
was issued announcing that Ent is joining the Linux Foundation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ent was open-sourced while I was working on it with my peers at Facebook in 2019. Since then, our community has
|
||
grown, and we’ve seen the adoption of Ent explode across many organizations of different sizes and sectors.
|
||
|
||
Our goal with moving under the governance of the Linux Foundation is to provide a corporate-neutral environment in
|
||
which organizations can more easily contribute code, as we’ve seen with other successful OSS projects such as Kubernetes
|
||
and GraphQL. In addition, the move under the governance of the Linux Foundation positions Ent where we would like it to
|
||
be, a core, infrastructure technology that organizations can trust because it is guaranteed to be here for a long time.
|
||
|
||
In terms of our community, nothing in particular changes, the repository has already moved to [github.com/ent/ent](https://github.com/ent/ent)
|
||
a few months ago, the license remains Apache 2.0, and we are all 100% committed to the success of the project. We’re sure
|
||
that the Linux Foundation’s strong brand and organizational capabilities will help to build even more confidence in Ent
|
||
and further foster its adoption in the industry.
|
||
|
||
I wanted to express my deep gratitude to the amazing folks at Facebook and the Linux Foundation that have worked hard on
|
||
making this change possible and showing trust in our community to keep pushing the state-of-the-art in data access
|
||
frameworks. This is a big achievement for our community, and so I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your
|
||
contributions, support, and trust in this project.
|
||
|
||
On a personal note, I wanted to share that [Rotem](https://github.com/rotemtam) (a core contributor to Ent)
|
||
and I have founded a new company, [Ariga](https://ariga.io).
|
||
We’re on a mission to build something that we call an “operational data graph” that is heavily built using Ent, we will
|
||
be sharing more details on that in the near future. You can expect to see many new exciting features contributed to the
|
||
framework by our team. In addition, Ariga employees will dedicate time and resources to support and foster this wonderful
|
||
community.
|
||
|
||
If you have any questions about this change or have any ideas on how to make it even better, please don’t hesitate to
|
||
reach out to me on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/qZmPgTE6RX) or [Slack channel](https://entgo.io/docs/slack/).
