Draft:OpenELA

Submission declined on 27 March 2024 by Sungodtemple (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: Source #1 is non-independent, source #2 doesn't mention OpenELA. Not notable... yet. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 01:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

OpenELA is a trade association formed ^[1]by Oracle, CiQ and SUSE to make sure that Enterprise linux source code is available to the Linux community. It is not a fork, but a response to RedHat putting Enterprise Linux source code behind a paywall ^[2]and legal agreement that no longer allows users to freely distribute the source code. OpenELA is not a Linux Distribution, but is intended as a location for all the source code to build an Enterprise Linux system.

Github[edit]

All of OpenELA's source code can be downloaded freely form their github site No login is required.
