Good bye Chef

[mizzy]

It seems that a product manager of Chef disrespects to Specinfra, so I'll block requiring by Chef.

Released as v2.28.3.

Serverspec is better than this. ❤️-ops

Alienating an entire community because of a silly graphic is a really unfortunate way to manage an open source project.

[gkra]

One person being frustrated is enough to excise an entire community?

@mizzy I can understand how that tweet could make you feel frustrated and insulted. And while I don't want to put words in Julian's mouth, per se, as someone who interacts with Julian regularly on Twitter and in the Chef community, I do not think that Julian meant it to be a personal insult or a serious knock against specinfra. It was just a humorous expression of some frustration with software, which we all encounter from time to time and sometimes post things to Twitter, irc, IM, etc as a form of venting and catharsis.

I completely feel for you, as a fellow open source project maintainer, contributer, and user. But as hard as it can be to detach your personal feelings from the software you spend each day crafting, I'd implore you to reconsider this particular change, as it will only serve to hurt two communities that both get a ton of benefit from interacting with each other (namely those who use serverspec with Chef ecosystem tools and those who don't).

Please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or irc or any of the contact methods listed on www.solarce.org/about if it would be helpful for you to discuss this with someone in a more private venue.

Kind regards.

As an innocent Chef user, I would like to add my +1 for reverting this change.

[ferventcoder]

Looks like there is already a PR #368

@mizzy We apologize for this incident and want to work with you to resolve any issues. Myself and others at Chef are ready to work with you directly to reach a positive conclusion.

We all get frustrated. We are all human beings and can work together respectfully to resolve disagreements. Chef will work with @mizzy directly to move forward in a positive direction.

[solarce]

@adamedx thank you, since I can't fav your comment I'll offer instead :)

[ocxo]

@solarce and to think it all started with innocent computer rage

[amaltson]

As someone who both loves ServerSpec and Chef, this makes me very sad. Please don't cut off the entire community 😢

[mizzy]

Sorry for everyone. I got the apologize from him in Twitter. So I will merge #368 and revert this.

Very sorry for my immature attitude.

[adamedx]

@mizzy this is really good news!
