The AlmaLinux OS Foundation
The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a 501(c)(6) that stewards the AlmaLinux project. We exist to keep an enterprise-grade Linux free, open, and community-governed — through elected leadership, public minutes, and a structure no single sponsor can capture.
En qué creemos
Three principles shape every decision the foundation makes about the AlmaLinux project.
Gobernanza abierta
The community elects the board, and minutes are published within 14 days of every meeting.
Sin propietario único
By bylaw, no single employer holds more than one voting board seat — regardless of how much they sponsor.
Liderazgo responsable
The chair is elected by the board. Annual elections fill expiring seats and any vacancies that have come up.
Junta directiva
The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is led by a community-elected board with four-year staggered terms. The board elects its own officers, including the chair. Agendas and minutes are published on la Wiki de AlmaLinux.
Las fechas de los mandatos actuales reflejan las cohortes escalonadas de cuatro años establecidas por los estatutos enmendados en Abril de 2026, después del 2025 election was rescheduled.

How the board operates
Construcción
Up to 13 voting seats (six voting plus one non-voting invited expert currently). Four-year staggered terms. No employer holds more than one seat. Chair is elected by the board. Vacancies trigger a member vote, unless within three months of the next election.
Ethics
Conflictos de intereses revelados; las transacciones interesadas requieren la aprobación de directores desinteresados. Sin cargos remunerados en la junta directiva. Se aplica el Código de Conducta.
Operations
The board meets monthly on the second Tuesday of the month. The working agenda is shared and built openly over the course of each month, so members can see what's coming, and public minutes from each meeting are published within 14 days.
Become a member — Help sustain and steer AlmaLinux
Membership is how people and organizations keep AlmaLinux independent — and shape where it goes. Every member can vote in board elections and be nominated for the board; sponsors also gain logo placement, press coverage, and more. Six tiers:
- Individual Libre
- Espejo In-kind
- Silver $2,500/yr
- Ruby $5,000/yr
- Oro $20,000/yr
- Platinum $100,000/yr
