CentOS, Fedora : une distribution en trop pour IBM ?
4 août 2019 
Le même jour, ont été publiés deux textes très similaires annonçant aux communautés CentOS et Fedora que tout allait au mieux dans le meilleur des mondes. Rien n’allait changer depuis qu’IBM a racheté Red Hat.
Le communiqué se voulait rassurant. Apparemment…

Les deux communiqués ont été publiés le même jour.

Les deux textes
Le communiqué de Fedora nous rappelle son rôle majeur dans l’innovation apportée au système Linux (plymouth, systemd, firewalld, cockpit, dnf, les dépôts modular, etc). CentOS parle de feuille de route, sachant qu’elle est actuellement un clone de la Red Hat pour lequel les mises à jour sont gratuites.
| CentOS Today marks a new day in the 26-year history of Red Hat. IBM has finalized its acquisition of Red Hat which will operate as a distinct unit within IBM moving forward. What does this mean for Red Hat’s contributions to the CentOS project? In short, nothing. Red Hat always has and will continue to be a champion for open source and projects like CentOS. 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 about today’s news, I encourage you to review the list of materials below. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright will host an online Q&A session in the coming days where you can ask questions you may have about what the acquisition means for Red Hat and our involvement in open source communities. Details will be announced on the Red Hat blog | Fedora Today marks a new day in the 26-year history of Red Hat.
