nhanlonon Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V

I suggest you try and measure yourself using that big stick you're holding up to other people.

As one of the founders of the project, I don't think I'll distance myself from myself.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V

We've been building the RISC-V port from a combination of Fedora and CentOS Stream sources--the same as the core operating system--since early 2024.

A lot of RISC-V support was already in F40 (which EL10 is cut from), so the rest was largely backporting and integrating into RHEL, which again, we've been tracking since CentOS Stream 10 was branched from Fedora last year.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V

Exactly! The AltArch SIG is exactly where those customization will come from, driven by community support.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V

Yep, should work fine, just not stepping across the upstream (Fedora) support at the moment.

We've actually been working with Fedora and RH on RISC-V for over a year now :)

nhanlonon Rocky Linux from CIQ – Hardened

Well that's certainly _one_ way to tell the story, now isn't it, Jonathan.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux from CIQ – Hardened

I'm curious -- what issues are your counterparts experiencing?

nhanlonon Rocky Linux, Reflections on Three Years of Growth

We do love collaborating with our upstreams--I myself recruit folks into Fedora and CentOS whenever I can, in addition to Rocky.

It's more than words and sponsorship--I really do mean it when I say I want to empower the Enterprise Linux community, and I'm thrilled that Rocky is at a point where we're able to do so.

nhanlonon CIQ, Oracle, SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association

CIQ is a sponsor of Rocky (and my employer, to be transparent) - but they do not have a say over what Rocky does.

nhanlonon CIQ, Oracle, SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association

We (RESF/Rocky) are _not_ CIQ, and do not take direction from CIQ.

End of story.

It's incredibly difficult (read: impossible) for this type of organization to be a true 501(c)3.

nhanlonon Keeping Open Source Open

Yes, I am aware of Carl and his biases.

nhanlonon Keeping Open Source Open

TIL Nothing I write is useful.

nhanlonon Keeping Open Source Open

Except, we are?

nhanlonon Keeping Open Source Open

Yeah, that's not what any of us are saying.

We already _do_ a lot of work. This is _more_ work.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux Expresses Confidence Despite Red Hat's Announcement

The Rocky Linux team does _NOT_ sell support.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux Expresses Confidence Despite Red Hat's Announcement

I'm not sure what the order in which we write our jokes has to do with anything.

I'll work on my comedic timing, I guess.

nhanlonon Rocky Linux Expresses Confidence Despite Red Hat's Announcement

Personally, I regularly contribute to Fedora and EPEL, as well as Stream (and RHEL). In addition, I am a Core Reviewer for OpenStack-Ansible and am part of the OpenInfra community.

nhanlonon Dear Red Hat: Are you dumb?

Author of that pad here: For the record, someone changed their color to something similar to mine and added the 'Infiltrate RH' line which has been since removed.

But thank you for appreciating my humor lol

nhanlonon NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux

regardless of the status of the bugzilla. That _is_ a bug and a regression in RHEL 9.2.

nhanlonon NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux

We do all the time.

nhanlonon Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations [pdf]

Codeberg can host them, I suspect.. I know Docker (Had) a FOSS program at one point, too.

Running your own gitea/forgejo is an option, as they can host packages as well
