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

[Rain Leander]

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. For any questions not answered
here, please feel free to email directly or continue open dialogue here on
the lists.
