CentOS community,
Today marks a new day in the 26-year history of Red Hat. IBM has
finalized its acquisition of Red Hat
(https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisition-red-hat-34-billion-defines-open-hybrid-cloud-future)
which will operate as a distinct unit within IBM moving forward.
What does this mean for Red Hat?s contributions to the CentOS project?
In short, nothing.
Red Hat always has and will continue to be a champion for open source
and projects like CentOS. IBM is committed to Red Hat?s independence and
role in open source software communities so that we can continue this
work without interruption or changes.
Our mission, governance, and objectives remain the same. We will
continue to execute the existing project roadmap. Red Hat associates
will continue to contribute to the upstream in the same ways they have
been. And, as always, we will continue to help upstream projects be
successful and contribute to welcoming new members and maintaining the
project.
We will do this together, with the community, as we always have.
If you have questions or would like to learn more about today?s news, I
encourage you to review the list of materials below. Red Hat CTO Chris
Wright will host an online Q&A session in the coming days where you can
ask questions you may have about what the acquisition means for Red Hat
and our involvement in open source communities. Details will be
announced on the Red Hat blog - https://www.redhat.com/en/blog
