All will be revealed in due time. What's the point of a thread full of speculation? There are people with knowledge and intent who by all means want to keep CORE alive as a true open community project. Please let them take their time to come up with an official announcement.Maybe we can start a thread to discuss this. Who is behind it?
Understood, and fully agree. But please do keep in mind that some of us here, some of us very FreeBSD focused, very eager to keep CORE alive and well supported, and some of us even wanting to contribute in one way or another (I'm personally well-versed in webdev & devops), would very much appreciate participating in discussions taking place.All will be revealed in due time.

Granted. But given the fact that we will be getting the "best TrueNAS CORE ever" from iXsystems with a lifetime of roughly two more years, I doubt we need to rush things right now. If the "zvault.io" project takes off in 4, 8, or 12 weeks is not that important. I expect an open source "TrueNAS on FreeBSD" project in the first half of this year.Understood, and fully agree.

Just saying ;)

The reasons for the "secrecy" are not technical but organisational.
Don't necessarily disagree with any of the points you're making. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd love to be a part of any effort that might be taking shape.Granted.

The reasons for the "secrecy" are not technical but organisational. Nobody wants a project on github with a lot of hype that dies within a couple of weeks. Publishing the preliminary web site instead of just registering the domain might have been a mistake.
And you will be. There will be a project on github, so you will be able to create issues and pull requests. As far as I know today.Don't necessarily disagree with any of the points you're making. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd love to be a part of any effort that might be taking shape.
Alright, I'll be on the lookout.And you will be. There will be a project on github, so you will be able to create issues and pull requests. As far as I know today.
And what trademarks would those be? If you want to contribute to the viability of any project going forward, care to be a little bit more forthcoming with any potential problems you're seeing that others may be missing?Yikes... At least two different trademarks infringed, and they don't even have a road map yet. Sky's darkened with flying IP lawyers in... 3... 2... 1...

… The amount of enterprise stability fixes and hardening we do every time we jump to a new .0 of FreeBSD is a bit ridiculous. …
… The ports tree didn't suddenly start being amazing to develop against (considering what we just went through to update to 13.3, we ought to know). …
