FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The AlmaLinux OS Foundation , the nonprofit that stewards AlmaLinux, the free and community-governed open source enterprise Linux distribution, today announced the creation of a special interest group (SIG) devoted to increasing user trust via official AlmaLinux certification for hardware.
Jonathan Wright, the infrastructure team lead for AlmaLinux who serves as the SIG's first chair, will lead the global group of community members tasked with maintaining standards and administering the new AlamaLinux OS Foundation Hardware Certification Program. Full certification program details and SIG information are available at .
The new certification SIG will manage the simple yet comprehensive procedure for certification – taking days, not months. It has established a streamlined, collaborative framework for Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) and the AlmaLinux OS Foundation to certify hardware compatibility with AlmaLinux OS. The program leverages an open-source certification toolkit developed by ALOSF, which is built upon various open-source hardware and software testing projects and tools. The details of the certification program can be found on the AlmaLinux website at certification/
Those interested in working with the SIG to shape further advancements in the certification process are invited to join the SIG at any of its meetings or in the chat room, details of which can be found at .

We're committed to providing a clear and consistent path toward hardware certification – and I'm confident in the effectiveness of this group as they cement this new process.”
“Since the launch of MIRACLE LINUX, Cybertrust Japan has been collaborating with server vendors worldwide to advance the acquisition of hardware certifications,” said Yuji Kitamura, President and CEO of Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd., a platinum sponsor of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation.“We believe that the newly launched Hardware Certification Program for Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) will significantly enhance the usability of AlmaLinux OS for enterprise users.
