<p>Hello,</p><p> </p><p>Just a question:</p><p>If the problem is about lack of openness in Centos project, why don't "fork" it? ok, Centos is already a "fork" of RHEL</p><p>(Yes, it is), Scientific linux too (with some special packages for lab etc...):</p><p> </p><p>A fork is simple to do and maybe the community behind will be more open, more reactive ?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Just a question ... not a troll (we are not Friday :)</p><p>Best regards,</p><p> </p><p>js</p><p><br /> </p><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(50, 95, 186); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;">-----Message initial-----<br /><strong>À:</strong> The CentOS developers mailing list. <centos-devel@centos.org>; <br /><strong>De:</strong> Timo Schoeler <timo.schoeler@riscworks.net><br /><strong>Envoyé:</strong> jeu. 06-01-2011 12:40<br /><strong>Sujet:</strong> Re: [CentOS-devel] are there any chances to see finished CentOS6 in 2011?<br />-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br />Hash: SHA1<br /><br />thus Karanbir Singh spake:<br />> On 01/05/2011 03:34 PM, Timo Schoeler wrote:<br />>> What came to my mind on my way home from the office: Maybe Karanbir has<br />>> a different definition of 'community' (wasn't that what the 'C' in<br />>> 'CentOS' was for?) in mind...?<br />> <br />> wow, that is so stupid.<br /><br />Karanbir, your soft skills are just phantastic!
