CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream announced

The CentOS Project
The CentOS Project is a community-driven free software effort focused on delivering a robust open source ecosystem around a Linux platform.

We offer two Linux distros:
– CentOS Linux is a consistent, manageable platform that suits a wide variety of deployments. For some open source communities, it is a solid, predictable base to build upon.

– The new CentOS Stream is a rolling-release distro that tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, positioned as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL. For anyone interested in participating and collaborating in the RHEL ecosystem, CentOS Stream is your reliable platform for innovation.

Red Hat and CentOS Unveil CentOS Stream, a New Rolling Release Linux Distro
Will contain the code of the next minor RHEL release
September 24, 2019
https://news.softpedia.com/news/red...new-rolling-release-distribution-527543.shtml

Meet CentOS Stream, a new GNU/Linux distribution developed in parallel with the current CentOS Linux operating system to offer the community access to the latest development code of the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. CentOS Stream follows a rolling release model where you install once and received updates forever.

"We want all of our communities to feel engaged in an open, collaborative process, and look forward to how CentOS Stream can help drive this shared vision forward. Open source flourishes when as many hands and eyes as possible can contribute, helping to lead towards the next great IT innovations," said Chris Wright is Vice President and CTO of Red Hat.
Midstream between Fedora Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
According to the CentOS Project, CentOS Stream aims to offer the community a midstream between the upstream development in Fedora Linux and the downstream development for Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, opening a contribution path for developers to contribute to the upcoming minor and major Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases.
