Red Hat Launching Its Own Community Distro of OpenStack 25
darthcamaro writes "Red Hat still doesn't have a fully supported commercial version of OpenStack in the market yet (coming this summer) as it lags behind Ubuntu and SUSE. But Red Hat is doing something no other distro vendor has done, they are launching a brand new bleeding edge build of OpenStack that will update weekly (or faster). The best part? This isn't a fork. It's all upstream work, meaning everyone in the OpenStack Community benefits. From the article: '"Our developers will continue to work in the upstream OpenStack, and "whenever we find we need to make changes to make RDO work, we get that work done upstream first," Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens said. "RDO won't change in any way our active involvement in the upstream OpenStack development."'
Glad to see the community benefiting (Score:2, Insightful)
Glad to see the community benefiting from a fork. Usually when canonical makes a new project the community loses because we get two of the same thing and neither work well (see GNOME3/Unity or Wayland/Mir). I fully support RedHat's approach to improve existing technologies rather than scraping existing project and creating crap.
