Thanks Rich for the kind words and Johnny for the support as well. Rich is 
correct about the non-profit foundation that was setup to facilitate community 
ownership and involvement. No one party owns or controls AlmaLinux.

We don’t view anyone as "the other team” either, and we are glad, and here, to 
work together with everyone.

The way we see it is that we are all family now as well and people have 
different needs. We are sure CentOS Stream is going to be great for those whose 
needs it fills and you really can’t beat the engineering team behind it. Time 
has already proven their prowess and some of them are close personal friends. 
That being said, we are trying our absolute hardest to make sure that we are 
the best community and distribution for people whose needs fall on the other 
side of the road.

We are here to work together to build an ecosystem that is greater than the sum 
of its parts. I’ve spent, at this point, the majority of my life in the the EL 
extended family (including Fedora) and I can confidently say it is the most 
powerful platform for innovation, certainly of my generation. It has helped 
either directly or indirectly spawn or support probably most of today’s most 
leading technological advancements, everything from the the way we develop and 
deploy software, huge advancements in space exploration, particle physics 
research, AI, biological breakthroughs, art, finance and everything in between. 
 It’s taken a collaborative, global effort to make that materialize and we are 
here to keep that going.

There is no horizon we cannot explore, no sea we cannot cross and no peak we 
cannot summit. Together.

Thanks,
Jack
