Interim tech lead of OpenTofu here.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d like to add that as of today (announced just now at OSS Bilbao) we&amp;#x27;re officially part of the Linux Foundation[0]!&lt;p&gt;Hope you like the new name (it basically won the votes anywhere it was proposed) and happy to answer any questions!&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.linuxfoundation.org&amp;#x2F;press&amp;#x2F;announcing-opentofu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.linuxfoundation.org&amp;#x2F;press&amp;#x2F;announcing-opentofu&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>seabass-labrax</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m impressed by the speed at which you&amp;#x27;ve forked the project and brought up the new technical infrastructure. You mention that you are &amp;#x27;interim tech lead&amp;#x27;; what does interim mean in this context, and what is the governance structure for future leadership (and presumably your replacement)? Will OpenTofu have a self-selecting board? Or will it be democratic by vote, and if so, have suffrage by membership, participation or something else? Maybe top-down BDFL appointed by the Linux Foundation?&lt;p&gt;I am curious because your Manifesto states that as a result of LF stewardship the &amp;#x27;community governs the project&amp;#x27;. The LF is massive, with a much more extensive portfolio than most people think, and influential far beyond its staffing would indicate. There is a great range of governance models and community norms across its projects, and, as with many things in FOSS leadership, no easy answer to the question of which the best option is among those.&lt;p&gt;As tech lead, it is your responsibility to choose what model and venue OpenTofu will adopt to fulfil its promises sustainably; I hope and imagine that you have been given the authority to make these choices decisively. The stewardship of the Linux Foundation is not an automatic guarantee of success, and the resources that the LF can provide are significant, unusual in FOSS, and very difficult to use - and concerningly easy to abuse unless directed by clear leadership. I wish you all the best of luck in this challenging but exciting task, and am curious to discover how you intend to take this project forward into the future.</text></comment>
