Chainguard EmeritOSS backs MinIO, other orphaned projects: https://thenewstack.io/chainguard-emeritoss-backs-minio-other-orphaned-projects/ via @TheNewStack & @sjvn
#OpenSource has a problem. There are many under-supported or even abandoned open-source programs that are still widely used, but there’s no one at the driver’s wheel.

@sjvn @TheNewStack Is this really such an issue, compared against EOL proprietary software people cling to?
Of course, EOLed software can have huge problems, especially from a security perspective. But that's not an open source problem. It's a software problem in general.
@dazo @TheNewStack It's a problem everywhere, but with open source, if you want to, as Chainguard is, you can address the problem.
@sjvn @TheNewStack Yeah, agreed it can easily end up better with open source.
Just reacted on the wording in your initial toot, where it sounded like it's a huge problem primarily with open source software.
