(I meant to weigh in on this earlier, but it's been a busy couple of days.)
One of the first people (if not the first person) that I talked to in the
community about open sourcing SDC was Heinz (and this was years ago now).
I wanted to be sure that Heinz heard it from me that I thought that FiFo
was great, and that if (when!) we open sourced SDC, it wasn't to compete
with FiFo but rather to complement it. No one who knows Heinz will be
surprised to learn that he was very enthusiastic and supportive about us
open sourcing SDC -- and looked forward to a day when FiFo and SDC would
both be out there and cross-pollinating one another.
That day is finally here, and I think we all have the same disposition:
having two open source SmartOS-based orchestration stacks will help both
projects and will of course help the community. One of the strongest
elements of our small community is that we earnestly believe in choice:
there is a strong sense of collaboration between, for example, OmniOS and
SmartOS -- with each advocating the other for the use cases for which it
was designed. So it will be between FiFo and SDC (and any other
orchestration stacks that emerge): we have much more that unites us than
divides us!
