“We set out to develop a free, open, community enterprise operating system that is bug-for-bug compatible with the upstream Enterprise Linux standard. Now we’re asking you for more: join us as we build our community. When we announced our release candidate, we asked you to come build the next free, open, community enterprise operating system with us. Expect more from the RESF in the coming weeks and months. To this point, you can easily find all of our sources, our build infrastructure, Git repositories, and everything else anyone would need to fork our work and ensure that it continues if need be. This is just the beginning, and the RESF is more than just Rocky Linux–it’s a home for those that believe that open source isn’t just a switch that can be toggled at will, and that projects that many rely on not be subject to the whims of a few. We’d like to extend a special thanks to our sponsors and our partners, whose contribution of resources, financial backing, software, and infrastructure were all critical in supporting our efforts:Įach one brings something special to the community, and we’re grateful for their support. A commitment to an ideal bigger than the sum of its parts, and a promise that our principles–embedded even within our repositories and ISOs–are immutable. Rocky is more than the next free and open, community enterprise operating system. But a community persists, and that’s who we dedicate Rocky Linux to: you. More details available on the forums here.Ĭorporations come and go, their interests as transient as they are self-serving.
