# SIG/Core Wiki

## About

The Rocky Linux Core Special Interest Group (SIG/Core) dedicates themselves to the development, building, management, production, and release of Rocky Linux for the Enterprise Linux community and the many users around the world. This group is a mixture of core Rocky Linux developers and infrastructure and the members of this group are also members of other groups within the Rocky Linux community (such as SIG/AltArch) as well as the Enterprise Linux community as a whole.

## Mission

SIG/Core 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.
