A couple of weeks ago we issued a press release announcing three more new and returning silver sponsor members of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation, and I wanted to thank them here as well! Fastly has joined us this year as a new sponsor member, and AMD and world4you have renewed their sponsorship memberships. We’re so grateful for the contributions of our every-growing list of sponsors, as more and more companies prove that they believe in what we do. Here’s a little bit about each of them.
AMD
For more than 50 years AMD has driven innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies - and they have been sponsor members at AlmaLinux since the beginning. They provide support for us in a few different ways, both with hardware and by providing introductions to other vendors that we need to engage with.
“AMD has a long-standing commitment to delivering open, standards-based enterprise technologies that solve our customers’ biggest challenges. We are proud to contribute to community-driven open-source projects, like AlmaLinux, that foster an accessible and successful Linux ecosystem. We are pleased to continue our support of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation,” said Raghu Nambiar, corporate vice president, Data Center Ecosystems and Solutions, AMD.
world4you
world4you serves as one of Austria’s leading hosting providers, providing its customers’ data a secure home on the internet. They provide AlmaLinux as an option to their customers and have been a sponsor member since 2021.
Sandra Trummer-Gabler, General Manager at world4you, is convinced of the collaboration: “We are proud to be sponsor members of AlmaLinux again this year. Strong partnerships are crucial for us to provide the service our customers deserve. Together, we are setting benchmarks and maintaining the standards that are essential for reliable services and a successful future.”
Fastly
Fastly’s powerful, programmable edge cloud platform helps the world’s top brands deliver fast, safe, and engaging online experiences. We recently partnered with Fastly to add the speed boost to repo.almalinux.org (from which our community downloads ISO’s and other things).
“Fastly is a proud supporter of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation,” said Fastly Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Artur Bergman. “Open source and open standards are critical not only to Fastly, but also to the future of the internet and all digital technologies. We remain steadfast in our support for the open internet, and we are committed to helping the open source community and technologies thrive.”
What’s Next?
We’ll have still more sponsorship announcements coming this year, including both new and returning sponsors. All of our sponsorships help us continue to meet the goals and needs of our community, and expand the number of ways and places we get to meet our users. If you’ve been on the fence about joining us as a sponsor member, feel free to reach out to me! I’d love to help you decide where your support matches the foundation’s needs.
