Case Study: Rocky Linux builds a global community collaboration hub with Mattermost

Rocky Linux gives 5,000 open source contributors a collaboration hub with Mattermost

Rocky Linux, a community enterprise operating system project, faced a challenge in scaling collaboration for its massive, globally distributed open-source community. After being inundated with contributors on an initial platform, they needed a self-hosted messaging solution that could integrate with IRC and LDAP, align with their open-source philosophy, and provide data sovereignty. They chose Mattermost Starter Edition to serve as their central collaboration hub.

By implementing Mattermost on a high-availability infrastructure, Rocky Linux gained a flexible and extensible platform. The integration with Matterbridge extended their reach across other messaging platforms, and the ability to customize the tool fostered a centralized hub for over 5,300 active users. Mattermost provided the scalable solution the project required, granting them full control over their data and infrastructure while supporting their commitment to open source.
