+# Base builder images for O-RAN-SC
+
+This area contains Dockerfiles for images suitable for use as the
+first stage in a multi-stage Docker build. These images have large
+build and compile tools like C, C++, Golang, cmake, ninja, etc.
+Using these base images reduces the time needed to build Docker
+images with project features. The images are published to the O-RAN-SC
+Nexus3 staging registry at the Linux Foundation.
