[CentOS] Official CentOS CD/DVD Vendor Program

[ago at lsc.hu]

Hello list,

> Some feedback..
> You might wish to spellcheck the Vendor PDF..
Another feedback. I'm pretty mad right now.

I wrote a letter to Lance Davis how would I be able to distribute
"official" CentOS and provide support to these sets. I didn't got the
answer. OK, time told me (the CentOS_CD_Vendors.pdf to be more exact). I
didn't wanted to be rude and don't want to flame the people who created
the distro and organizing the developement and foundation but a simple
answer would be helpful, eg. please, wait we're developing a

I didn't creted and sold the DVD sets because I don't wanted to do it
without the permission or nod of the foundation/developers. I don't want
to be rude to them as I respect them. I checked the mail server logs two
times (rejection on the centos side, DNS errors, etc.) to be sure that the
mail landed at least on CentOS mail server.

More problems: I told in the letters - I wrote two as I remember - that as
a Hungarian I have problems with paypal. PayPal as worldwide as Hungarian
language is a wordwide language. And I wanted to just send the first $24.
It's still waiting. I would sell the copies of CentOS with this amount
"built-in" to the price and give installation support to this. After that
I would like to get some official receipt (you know, tax issues as I would
do it as an LLC).

I wanted to know how would I be able to be listed on the official
supporters page. What are the requirements etc. I didn't get answer.

I have an idea about more faster responses to security updates. Just take
advantage of the timezones and if there's at least one responsibe
team/person on every continent there's no nighshift and latency as there's
5 o'clock somewhere. I hope you know what I would like to tell.

Sorry, I didn't want to bring it to the list bit I'm a bit dissapointed. I
don't want special treatment I just wanted a simple answer to the question
how can I help CentOS too. If you tell me that "sorry, tight now it's a
tight and firm development base and we don't want external supporters"
maybe I won't agree with it but I could accept it.

bye,
