From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Growing a community and making it easier for folks to contribute is a critical element of success. We are excited by the interest in working with the CentOS project.

Since Spring 2023, the CentOS Board and members of the community have been working on a set of guidelines to help define what success means for CentOS and its deliverables. Building community and contribution has been a part of the guidelines from day one.

We are excited by interest from new contributors and look forward to working with them to improve the CentOS project, our collective SIG communities, and the Linux ecosystem overall.

They could have fleshed this out a little bit more. This doesn't really say anything.

CentOS hasn't said anything since Red Hat's move to derail the clones. Feels a little "say something about openness to say something about openness!"

Yeah, what is the point of this post at all? And how does the body relate to the title?

Guys, you're all forgetting CentOS was bought by Red Hat, aren't you.

I'm sick of all the attempts to whitewash the recent Red Hat move. This makes things only worse. Fedora will not be affected, Alma has a bright future, CentOS is open to all, "rebuilders", clones...

This sub is infested with corpo-apologists unfortunately.

The fact that they took a bit of time to say a few words that signify nothing speaks loud and clear.
