Hello Community!

Even if you only use VyOS and don’t participate in its development and community activities, it’s a good idea to be aware of the current governance processes and their future since they have a big impact on the project. It’s even more important to know about them if you want to participate — and we invite everyone to participate!

There is a popular fiction that if you have a good project, a community automatically forms around it and gives it the publicity it deserves. In reality, it varies. It’s more than possible to have a lot of publicity without any project at all, as we see with a lot of startups that turn out to be vaporware. They get their publicity by talking about the supposed product everywhere.

The reality is that good projects also get their publicity… by talking about their project everywhere. The more you talk about it, the more visible you are. In CatB, Eric Raymond admits that he “grew his beta list by adding to it everyone who contacted him about fetchmail”—a practice that looks borderline spammy.
