Convergence of Communities: OKD = f(Kubernetes++)
summary
Data-driven analysis of GitHub logs (using Grimoire Lab) shows communities converging: many engineers commit across Kubernetes, OKD/OpenShift, OpenStack and CNCF projects, with ~1,000,000 commits (raw GitHub logs) in some repos and Kubernetes as the second-largest corpus. Identity/affiliation cleanup finds connectors and mavens; core code for OpenShift origin is ~98% Red Hat contributions, and community outreach via OpenShift Commons grew 5→70 contributors. Result: release coordination is harder, anonymity is eroding, and community management shifts to networked community development.
