Wait, what?? Someone at RH wakes up in the morning and decides to cut one of the key roles (or better, THE) of Fedora community and this goes completely unannounced, unnoticed and without any backup plan?
I do understand why RedHat itself will not announce who got laid off, but the Council members should have been informed (I hope!) at the time, and should have worked on an announcement to the community, even if all they could say was "stay tuned, we are working it out".
The Council members were not informed in advance. They found out about the layoffs at the same time the public did, and also found out about Ben's specific role only after he informed others he was impacted.
I would like to believe this will be a learning opportunity for the Council to improve their communications for the next time something impacts their group (and the Fedora community).
I do believe they are working on something, but you're laying blame at the feet of the wrong people here. The Council was blindsided like everyone else.
