# Release Engineering (SIG/Core) Wiki
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
The Rocky Linux Release Engineering Team (who also refers to themselves as SIG/Core) dedicates themselves to the development, building, management, production, and release of Rocky Linux. This group combines development and infrastructure in a single cohesive unit of individuals that ultimately make the distribution happen.
|
|
|
|
While not a strict Special Interest Group (as defined by [the Rocky Linux wiki](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/special_interest_groups/)), the primary overarching goal (or "interest") is to ensure Rocky Linux is built and released in a complete and functional manner.
|
|
|
|
## Mission
|
|
|
|
Release Engineering strives to ensure a stable distribution is developed, built, tested, and provided to the community from the RESF as a compatible derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. To achieve this goal, some of the things we do are:
|
|
|
|
* Ensuring a quality and fully compatible release product
|
|
* Developing and iterating on the build systems and architecture
|
|
* Developing all code in the open
|
|
* Setting the technical direction for the build system architecture
|
|
* Release of beta and final products to the end users and mirrors
|
|
* Release of timely updates to the end users and mirrors
|
|
|
|
See the [What We Do](what_we_do.md) page for a more detailed explanation of our activities.
