The Open Enterprise Linux Association, a
joint venture founded by CIQ, Oracle, and SUSE, has announced
its first code release.

OpenELA is excited to announce that the source code for all
packages necessary for anyone to build a derivative Enterprise
Linux operating system is now available. The initial focus is on
EL8 and EL9, and packages for EL7 are forthcoming. The project is
committed to ensuring the continued availability of EL sources to
the community indefinitely.

The organization has also announced a technical
steering committee made up of “highly experienced individuals from
the founding companies“.
