Thanks everone! We're working
on a superuser article for this. I think
we should also add these to the FAQ, but let me work on refining some of
the answers with Allison and Ashleigh :)
Appreciate your help and input!

Another
one (or at least category) I got a lot while greeting folks
at the
booth:
Q. What's the catch? What's your business model? How do
you expect to
make money at this? Is this project venture-capital
backed? Are
you planning an IPO any time soon?
A. Zuul is a
community-developed free/libre open-source software
collaboration
between contributors from a variety of
organizations and
backgrounds. These people have personal and
professional interest
in seeing Zuul succeed because they, their
colleagues, and their
employers want to be able to use it
themselves to improve their
own workflows. There is no one
company backing the project, it's
openly-governed by a diverse
group of maintainers and anyone who's
interested in helping
improve Zuul is welcome to join the effort.
Some companies do
have business models which include running Zuul
as a service or
selling technical support for it, and so have an
incentive to
assist with writing and promoting the software, but
they don't
enjoy any particular position of privilege or exert
special
decision-making power within the project.
Of
course, I think it's *possible* the reason we got asked these
sorts
of questions so many times is that Ansiblefest didn't have a
booth
sponsor category for community projects, so they lumped us
into the
"start-up company" sponsor category.
We recently attended
Ansiblefest in Atlanta and Zuul had a booth there.
It was a great opportunity to meet with existing and potential Zuulies.
Some common questions popped up over and over again, so I wanted to
crowd source some answers that we could place on our FAQ:
* How does Zuul compare to:
** Jenkins
** Molecule
** Tower
* Is Zuul a replacement for Jenkins?
* Does it work with GitLab?
I believe those were the majors. Let me know if you're able to
contribute some responses
Cheers,
Jimmy
