		hkmurakami on Sept 7, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: CenturyLink Said to Seek to Acquire Rackspace Host... Totally torn about this potential acquisition as (1) a longtime RAX shareholder who would see good returns from such a move and (2) as a supporter of their OSS contributions who fears the effect such an acquisition would have towards the resources put toward their OSS efforts. Not sure how to reconcile this within myself, though (somewhat sadly) I find myself rooting for the acquisition. :(

CenturyLink has a surprising amount of open source, especially around Docker and CoreOS: https://github.com/CenturyLinkLabs
