OpenELA is a non-profit trade association of open source Enterprise Linux distribution developers.

There are many Linux Distributions that are perfectly suitable for enterprise use cases and environments. For the purpose of this charter and project, OpenELA recognizes “Enterprise Linux” (EL) as 1:1 and bug-for-bug source code compatibility which today is aligned to RHEL and CentOS.

OpenELA’s mission is to provide a secure, transparent, and reliable Enterprise Linux source that is globally available to all as a buildable base.

OpenELA is a collaboration created and upheld by CIQ, Oracle, and SUSE.
