This page defines terms used by the Automotive SIG. If something is unclear, let us know.

Special Interest Group (SIG)

A SIG is a group of people who are interested in collaborating on the same goal.

The CentOS Automotive SIG is a group of people who are interested in developing an operating system (OS) based on CentOS Stream that could be used in an automotive environment. This OS will not be safety certified, however, and should be considered as a research project or a proof of concept (POC).
