+Hi, my name is Luke and I'm the maintainer of Atlantis. + +I wanted to explain why I'm going to be continuing work on Atlantis +under [github.com/atlantisnorth/atlantis](https://github.com/atlantisnorth/atlantis) instead of under [github.com/hootsuite/atlantis](https://github.com/hootsuite/atlantis). + +## Short Story Of Atlantis +Atlantis was originally created by Anubhav Mishra while he worked at [Hootsuite](https://hootsuite.com) (you can read more about why he created Atlantis [here](/blog/atlantis-release)). +Mishra and I worked together at Hootsuite and after realizing that Atlantis would be a useful tool for others, we worked together to rewrite it in Golang and open source it. +This resulted in [github.com/hootsuite/atlantis](https://github.com/hootsuite/atlantis). + +## Where We Are Now +Since then, Mishra has left Hootsuite to work at HashiCorp and I've left Hootsuite as well. + +I (Luke) want to continue working on Atlantis but doing so under the `hootsuite` GitHub organization as the sole maintainer is problematic because: + +* I don't have administrative control over the repo because I'm no longer in the `hootsuite` organization. This means I need permission to add apps like [Codecov.io](https://codecov.io) and [CircleCI](https://circleci.com/). +* It also means I **could** lose control over the repo if Hootsuite's open source policies changed. I don't think this would happen but it is a risk. + +Because Hootsuite is heavily invested in Atlantis–it's used every day by 20 operations developers and over 50 developers to manage 100+ Terraform repos–they want the project +to continue developing. As such, Hootsuite and I came to the mutual conclusion that it would be best for me to work on Atlantis under my own organization. Thus: [github.com/atlantisnorth/atlantis](https://github.com/atlantisnorth/atlantis). + +## Future of Atlantis +I'm really excited to continue working on Atlantis so that it can be used by more teams and support more use-cases. Please create any issues and pull requests under the new repository: [github.com/atlantisnorth/atlantis](https://github.com/atlantisnorth/atlantis). +I'll be copying issues over from `hootsuite/atlantis` to `atlantisnorth/atlantis` but that repo will not be maintained further. + +If you have any questions, please DM me on Twitter at [@lkysow](https://twitter.com/lkysow). diff --git a/website/src/static/img/luke.png b/website/src/static/img/luke.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..85e1522617 Binary files /dev/null and b/website/src/static/img/luke.png differ diff --git a/website/src/themes/kube/layouts/partials/footer.html b/website/src/themes/kube/layouts/partials/footer.html index 4024d08e02..d75ae9ad65 100644 --- a/website/src/themes/kube/layouts/partials/footer.html +++ b/website/src/themes/kube/layouts/partials/footer.html @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@
