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.

The CentOS Board of Directors

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

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...

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

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