Donating Docker Distribution to the CNCF

This has been in the works for a while! It&#x27;s exciting to see core components being officially put into the hands of the community.<p>Docker distribution is the second implementation of a container registry ever (the first was written in Python by Docker and was later forked into Quay) and is at the core of many of the commonly used container registries like Docker Hub and Harbor. This repository became the basis for the OCI distribution specification[0], which is now the standard for distributing container images (and more[1]).<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opencontainers&#x2F;distribution-spec" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opencontainers&#x2F;distribution-spec</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opencontainers&#x2F;artifacts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opencontainers&#x2F;artifacts</a>

Sadly when I see this and their recent move with Docker Hub, I think they are pushing source code on the community to better spent&#x2F;preserved their diminishing cash.

Why call this &quot;distribution&quot;?<p>This is going to be impossible to Google.

They&#x27;ve managed to hit a new high score for a README [0] full of sound and fury: only one sentence of actionable information &quot;The specification can be found here.&quot;<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opencontainers&#x2F;distribution-spec" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opencontainers&#x2F;distribution-spec</a>
