> We completed all documents required for OpenTF to become part of the Linux Foundation with the end goal of having OpenTF as part of Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Anyone know why this was done in this order? Why not apply for CNCF right from the get-go?



The CNCF process takes a bit longer and CNCF is part of the LF anyway. The project governance can benefit from being part of a reputable foundation as soon as practicable.

Thanks, can you share more details? E.g. are there more reviews, more paperwork required, etc?


Yes to reviews, no to more paperwork


I'm guessing their application to the CNCF Sandbox is either planned or in review. It's only been 10 days, after all.
