  The Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) is a Linux Foundation
  collaborative project that builds an industrial-grade open source base
  layer for civil infrastructure systems such as transportation, power
  generation and distribution, building and city management, industrial
  control, and healthcare equipment. CIP curates a Super Long-Term
  Support (SLTS) kernel and core user-space packages that can be
  maintained for more than ten years, plus working groups for security
  (IEC 62443 alignment), software update, real-time, and testing. CIP
  does not publish a public REST API surface; its programmable interface
  is the source code, kernel, and tooling published through GitLab and
  Debian-derived package archives.
