AlmaLinux and the Open Source way
summary
AlmaLinux describes the concrete governance, release and contribution mechanics that keep it stable: a US nonprofit with a volunteer, member-elected board and an Engineering Steering Committee (Allesco) plus SIGs that do the hands‑on work. The project builds from Red Hat sources, guarantees 10 years of support, now pushes releases around a week after upstream (previously one to two days), reports over 2 million systems using its mirrors, accepts RFCs for changes, and logs modest individual funding ($1,500) from many small donors.
