+# 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 staging
+registry at the Linux Foundation: nexus3.o-ran-sc.org:10004
