+We are thrilled to announce the general availability of four new services, all part of the Operate First initiative.
+These services, operated and maintained by the [#B4mad partition of Operate First](https://github.com/b4mad/op1st-emea-b4mad),
+are designed to bring state-of-the-art DevSecOps to your open-source projects.
+
+1. **[Peribolos](https://github.com/apps/peribolos)** is a GitHub organization management tool that treats your
+organization settings as code
+2. **[op1st Prow](https://github.com/apps/op1st-prow)** is a Kubernetes-based CI/CD system that provides declerative
+automation, github-comment-ops, and automatic PR merging
+3. **[op1st Tekton](https://github.com/apps/op1st-tekton)**, a powerful and flexible open-source framework for creating
+CI/CD systems with a special 'pipeline as code' twist.
+4. **[op1st ArgoCD](https://github.com/apps/op1st-argocd)** is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for
+Kubernetes and OpenShift
+
+These services offer immense value to open source communities by fostering collaboration, enhancing security, and
+streamlining development processes!
+
+With Peribolos, you can manage your GitHub organization settings as code, enabling a more collaborative and transparent
+way of organization management. op1st Prow automates containerized tasks, providing a platform for efficient CI/CD
+workflows. op1st Tekton's 'pipeline as code' approach empowers developers with more control and flexibility in their
+CI/CD systems. Lastly, op1st ArgoCD delivers a GitOps approach to continuous delivery on Kubernetes and OpenShift,
+promoting traceability and repeatability in deployments.
+
+Operate First, by offering these services, is helping open source projects adopt DevSecOps practices and cloud-native
+technologies. The Operate First initiative represents a shift towards a transparent and community-driven approach to
+managing open-source projects. These services are deployed on the [Nostromo environment](https://github.com/b4mad/op1st-emea-b4mad/blob/main/manifests/environments/nostromo/kustomization.yaml),
+a testament to the Operate First initiative's commitment to providing infrastructure services to the open source community!
+
+We invite you to install and use these services in your projects. For any support needed or general questions with
+regards to Operate First, please direct your inquiries [here](https://github.com/operate-first/support/issues/new/choose).
+Make your open-source project management more effective and collaborative with Operate First services. Try them out today!
+
+This set of services is operated by the _#B4mad partition of Operate First_ and implements the [Operate First SIG/SRE Infrastructure Services](https://github.com/operate-first/community/blob/63223f33e40aecf37f8197e576990ecd24bbeec3/sig-sre/proposal-infra-services.md) proposal and [#251](https://github.com/operate-first/community/issues/251).
