As of yesterday, the #LXD project is no longer part of the Linux Containers project but can now instead be found directly under Canonical's control.

Please read our official statement on:
https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd

I personally consider Canonical's move to be a hostile act and as far as I'm concerned the decision was unilateral. It may be legally sound but it leaves a very bad taste behind.

I've been involved with this project independent of what company I moved to. To see this happening is sad.

Linux Containers - LXD - Has been moved to Canonical

Apparently I'm not a maintainer of #LXD anymore and neither is @stgraber. So it seems from now on it's Canonical employees only.

I'd like to point out that before Canonical moved LXD into github.com/canonical/lxd maintainership was completely independent of the company. If you went to work somewhere else you still were a maintainer. As it should be with any well-functioning OSS project.
