The Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) aims to establish a “base layer” of industrial-grade tooling using the Linux kernel and other open source projects. This base layer will be available for use by developers creating software building blocks that meet safety, security, reliability and other requirements that are critical to industrial and civil infrastructure projects.
CIP is an open collaborative project where you are welcome to contribute. please join us:

The first action taken by the CIP project is to select and maintain Linux kernels for very long time (+15 years). To achieve goal a group of experts has been assigned. All the actions and decisions related with the maintenance of the Linux kernels selected by the CIP group can be followed in the page CIP Kernel maintenance.
Civil infrastructure industry has high stability, reliability and security standards in order to ensure safety critical systems. A project has been formed to address this reality called CIP Testing. So far the efforts are focused on testing the CIP kernel. In the future they will be extended to the complete CIP platform.
This is an incubation project for creating a minimal base system that uses Debian sources and/or binaries. The minimal base system will include components that most likely require a long maintainance timespan. For more information, go to the Project-X wiki page or check out the source code.
