CentOS 15th Birthday, 14 May 2019
by Rich Bowen 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Starting this discussion well in advance so that we have plenty of time to figure out what we want to do. Looking back five years: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-promo/2014-July/001382.html I'm hoping to do many of the same things that were suggested last time, including: * Birthday cakes at each Dojo event in 2019, starting at FOSDEM. (I'm investigating adding this to our lunch at the Brussels Dojo.) * Commemorative sports jersey in the style of the one in the above email thread. * Retrospective blog series, including thoughts from the project founders, statistics over the years, and stories from users about how their use of CentOS has evolved over the last 15 years. * Possibly a refresh of our web site design (including a consistent theme across wiki, forums, blog), incorporating a "15 years" message of some kind. If you'd like to help with this effort, or have other suggestions, please speak up. The actual date of the birthday is 14 May 2019, but I think we want to make it a year-long celebration, rather than a single day event. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

Ohio LinuxFest next weekend
by Rich Bowen 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Next weekend, CentOS will be sponsoring Ohio LinuxFest, and will have a table there. If you expect to be at OLF, and can spare an hour, or even a half hour, to sit at the table and answer questions, it would be a great help to me. Please have a look at the schedule - https://ohiolinux.org/schedule/ - and let me know what time(s) you might be able to spend at the table. For your convenience, I've made a list of available times here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TqTqaLoswMYzyfvQCnzjkVazlQkP87CCKBS… Thanks, and I hope to see some of you in Columbus. --Rich -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

03 Oct '18

Hello, I would like to contribute something to the newsletter. As you mentioned on your wiki page, there are many ways to to that, for example: - As a translator to your native language - As a proof-reader of the English/native language I could offer to translate the newsletter into German. Is there a need for this? Best Regards, Chris
