<strong>illumos</strong> community values<br />
• We value the freedom to fork over governance; code<br />
over discussion; innovation over democracy<br />
• David Clark <strong>of</strong> IETF fame put it best (h/t @kebesays):<br />
We reject: kings, presidents and voting.<br />
We believe in: rough consensus and running code<br />
• Instead <strong>of</strong> a BDFL, we have a benevolent oligarchy —<br />
and so far we have achieved consensus with little effort<br />
• We value utility; we donʼt do things for their own sake!<br />
• <strong>The</strong>se values were embodied in the recent <strong>illumos</strong><br />
hackathon (h/t @ahl), which was a resounding success!
