# 2026 Q2 Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project (CTI)

## Overview

Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project (CTI) continues to work towards providing state of the art secure infrastructure for the GNU Toolchain and ancillary projects.

In CY26Q2 the work continues to focus on supporting the GNU C Library (one of 4 core GNU Toolchain projects) to migrate services to CTI.

Since CY26Q1 the project has continued to hold weekly Friday office hours and completed the following:

* Review of access controls for the major source code branches (139 committers across 254 branches).
* https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/SSDLC/Projects/gitolite
* https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/6db8ea3f-ea81-42e7-9333-bc8920251fec@redhat.com/
* Closed branches no longer needed by community (3 distribution branches closed).
* https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/055968ee-ac2f-43c0-9d09-9291ebc9ed56@archlinux.org/
* https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/3833418.oiGErgHkdL@pinacolada/
* https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/f81ff5f1-7551-4ebb-bd59-c5466042e7c7@linaro.org/
* Review of mailing lists in use by the community (10 mailing lists, 2 to close).
* https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/932cc126-4a9a-4507-9c26-2c13524100d0@redhat.com/
* https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/91482a3d-3abb-469e-9616-da83559f7e6a@redhat.com/
* Review of LF IT SOW for CY26 with CTI TAC.
* Engaged with 4 sponsors for CY27 and CY28 funding.

The CTI TAC is working closely with developers to transition smoothly to the modern infrastructure for `git` and email. Once this transition is in progress we will continue to review other services and projects in the GNU Toolchain (gcc, binutils and gdb).

## Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project

Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project (CTI) in 2026 Q2 continues to move forward secure development practices, but now in direct support for the GNU C Library (glibc) as the first GNU Toolchain project to migrate to new CTI services.

In order to engage the developers and discuss the transition the CTI TAC continues to hold weekly Friday office hours for the migration.


### Purpose

The Core Toolchain Infrastructure (CTI) Project’s mission is to support the GNU Toolchain community with secure infrastructure and state of the art services required to support the community’s development efforts to be a trusted foundation in a secure supply chain.

The CTI project continues to move forward the goal of creating a long-term sustainable set of secure and state of the art services and infrastructure for the GNU Toolchain and related packages.

Some of the major goals include:

* Secure and state of the art infrastructure.
* Continuity planning for infrastructure, development, and governance.
* Security policy planning.

### MVSR

Mission:

* To support the GNU Toolchain community with secure infrastructure and state of the art services required to support the community’s development efforts to be a trusted foundation in a secure supply chain.

Vision:

* A thriving ecosystem of software that can be developed with the GNU Toolchain as a trusted foundation in a secure supply chain.

Strategy:

* Review, prioritize, and support key infrastructure requirements from the GNU Toolchain community in collaboration with project sponsors.

Roadmap:

* Establish a baseline of secured services with support from project sponsors.

### Current Status

* Working with Linux Foundation IT to design a transition plan for August to December 2026.

### Up Next

* At the end of June close and archive 2 mailing lists as no longer needed.
* Engage an additional 4 sponsors in CY26Q2-Q3 for CY27 and CY28.

### Funding requests and updates

The Core Toolchain Infrastructure project as a Linux Foundation ADF was already granted funding and has been using this funding to support the service transition.

The remaining funding for CTI will be spent in CY26Q2-Q4 to transition the glibc services to CTI.

### Questions/Issues for the TAC

None at this time.
