What should AlmaLinux do next? Tell us!
by benny Vasquez 14 Oct '26

14 Oct '26

Hi everyone, We're planning the next two to three years of AlmaLinux, and I want to make sure the work we take on next is the work you need from us. I wrote more about what we've built and what we're working on now in this blog post <https://almalinux.org/blog/2026-10-14-what-should-almalinux-do-next/>. The best way to tell us what you need is our short survey <https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/3/form/view/67ef07bcb5a457edda013f62636527ab/>. It takes about five minutes, you don't need an account, and your answers are anonymous unless you choose to leave your email. The survey is open until Monday, November 16. If you'd rather talk about it in public, please join the discussion on the forums <https://forums.almalinux.org/t/what-should-almalinux-do-next-tell-us/7660>! I'd love to hear what's working for you, what's missing, and the one thing you'd most like us to do. I'll bring your answers together with the board's at our December board meeting, and then we'll share what we heard and what we plan to do about it. Thank you! --benny
