Saying the Quiet Part Loud: Open Source Projects Are Suffering From Attrition

Before arriving in Amsterdam for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe this past April, we discussed as a team that our focus and messaging would be centered around getting more contributors, especially ones interested in eventually becoming a maintainer. For our in-person project meeting, we brought this to attendees’ attention and were very transparent in the attrition that Carvel has faced and our desire to have more people from outside of VMware join our efforts.
