[rdo-users] Information for the RDO Project on Red Hat + IBM

IBM recently finalized its acquisition of Red Hat [0], which will operate as a distinct unit within IBM moving forward. What does this mean for Red Hat’s contributions to the RDO Project? In short, nothing. Red Hat always has and will continue to be a champion for open source [1] and projects like RDO that have played such a large role in driving innovation in cloud infrastructures. 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, I encourage you to review the FAQ [2] and other links below.
