We thank our upstream often, in person, in social media, etc.

We sponsor the Fedora Flock conference, the only opportunity to fiscally support Fedora, and will continue to do so. Same with the CentOS Connect conference. Those checks get written directly to Red Hat, by the way.

Given you work for Red Hat, we can even say we've paid you a little! :)

Thank you for sharing that, that is great to hear! (Small note, I left red hat several years ago so no longer work there)

We do love collaborating with our upstreams--I myself recruit folks into Fedora and CentOS whenever I can, in addition to Rocky.

It's more than words and sponsorship--I really do mean it when I say I want to empower the Enterprise Linux community, and I'm thrilled that Rocky is at a point where we're able to do so.
