The CentOS team is pleased to announce the creation of its first Special Interest Group (SIG): the Virtualization SIG. A SIG is a smaller group within the CentOS project that focuses on a small set of issues, in order to either create awareness or to focus development along a specific topic.

The Virtualization SIG has the following goals:

- Discussing, documenting and implementing methods to optimize virtualization performance. - Improvement and maintenance of virtualization support in CentOS. - Assisting in building ready-to-run images for common virtualization technologies, and development of installable CentOS media for virtualization platforms. - Work closely with providers of virtualization products, to see how we can accomodate use of their products with CentOS. - Maintenance of virtualization-related documentation in the CentOS Wiki. - Maintenance of the centos-virt mailing list. This list is used for discussing virtualization of and on CentOS, as well as discussion of SIG-related matters.
