Earlier today [we announced](https://www.einpresswire.com/article/752045731/almalinux-os-foundation-announces-continued-platinum-level-support-from-cloudlinux-and-tuxcare) that CloudLinux and its sister company TuxCare have renewed their platinum-level sponsorship of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation. They are continuing the commitment they made in 2021 of providing $1 million in annual support for AlmaLinux. I want to take a minute to thank them for the support they provide.
## Thank you
CloudLinux and Tuxcare were the reason we got off the ground, as founding sponsors. They have remained as platinum sponsors since the beginning, and are active contributors to AlmaLinux, and for the Linux and open source communities in general.
In the 42 months since [AlmaLinux first released](/blog/almalinux-os-stable-release-is-live/), we have done incredible things with the support of fanatics from across the world, but especially at CloudLinux and Tuxcare. Whether it's helping us staff events, helping recruit sponsors for the Foundation, letting their staff devote some of their time to working on the AlmaLinux day-to-day needs, or sponsoring folks like me to work full time on the project for more than a year now (especially such at a pivotal time as last year was), their support has been instrumental to the success of AlmaLinux.
Three thanks I'd like to give out specifically:
- Thank you to the CloudLinux and Tuxcare employees who spend extra time on top of their jobs to support the AlmaLinux project, and who work to improve everything we do.
- Thank you to the leadership team at CloudLinux and Tuxcare who continue to offer the use of their teams to help with things like graphic design (I am NOT a designer. :D), content creation, and so much more. 
- And a special thank you to Igor specifically. He believed in the vision of a community-owned, and community-managed foundation to take the project forward, and made it happen. It's been two years since he stepped down from the board and [I was elected as Chair](/blog/hi-im-benny-how-can-i-help/). As he continues to step further back to allow more folks to take on responsibility, it's been incredible to see his support remains with equal enthusiasm.
## What's Next?
We'll be at a slew of events still this year, and I'd love to meet you! We'll also continue to highlight new and returning sponsors. These sponsorships allow us to continue to meet the 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](/members/), feel free to email me! I'd love to help you decide if sponsorship is the right move for your company.

We are very happy to announce that today we are releasing the first AlmaLinux OS stable version. That's right, you can go right ahead and download the stable version and use it everywhere you need a stable, reliable, Linux distribution. For some time now we also have the conversion script in our GitHub repository, so you can also convert your system to AlmaLinux OS stable using it if you don't feel like reinstalling from scratch. AlmaLinux OS, the forever-free open source enterprise-grade Linux is ready. If you've been following us on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/) or on our other social media outlets, you also know we had a live launch party just now. We talked to some of our community, industry partners and team members. You can find the link for the recorded version shortly in here. We are also announcing the formation of a non-profit organization that will take over responsibility for managing the AlmaLinux OS project going forward, and some of the board members that will steer that effort. You'll have more details about it in an upcoming post, but you can check the recording of the presentation event where we talk to some of them and get their view for the future of the project and where they see AlmaLinux OS going forward. So, after about 4 months since the decision to steer CentOS in a different path, you now have a 1:1 binary compatible drop-in replacement, with a very long support timeframe. You can use it for any general purpose computing need, in bare-metal installations, in virtual machines, in containers, on cloud providers - we got you covered with official images for all those cases. And have we mentioned ARM supported is coming soon too? You can find the [ISO downloads](https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/isos/x86_64/) here, the [migration script here](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy), and other images in the [usual locations](https://github.com/AlmaLinux). There was just so many things announced that it's hard to keep track. We also have [Errata support](https://errata.almalinux.org/) (which CentOS lacked), a [merchandise shop](https://shop.almalinux.org/) for your AlmaLinux OS swag, and much more. Go right ahead and use it. The AlmaLinux OS Team
