The Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA), a trade association of open source Enterprise Linux distribution developers originally founded by CIQ, Oracle, and SUSE, has announced the creation of a user documentation repository. From this starting point, contributors are now able to add documentation as they work through the source code repositories and make relevant notes.

Oracle has contributed a portion of Oracle Linux 8 and 9 documentation to serve as the foundation for the OpenELA documentation repository. This provides a starting point for subjects and includes areas such as Managing Core System Configuration, Setting up System Users and Authentication, and Setting up Networking.

The repository is set up in Markdown, an intuitive and easy-to-use text editor that enables a wide range of contributors to submit content and other pull requests.

All documentation in this repository, both current content and future submissions, is subject to the Creative Commons Attribution–Share Alike 4.0 license. OpenELA invites further contributions from the community.
