Guten Tag, bonjour, saudações, hola, ahoj, welkom and of course hello.

Ladies and gentlemen, the CentOS mailing lists are going international! Yes, now you can talk about your favourite linux distribution in your favourite language. If - and that is a big if - you are able to talk in

- german - french - czech - dutch - the brasilian variant of portuguese - spanish

Which should be about, ermm, many people - and maybe *you* are one of them.

Let me introduce your hosts for the rest of your lifes:

There is Rodrigo Barbosa, who is running the CentOS-pt-br mailing list, because he is one of the people who are speaking this language. If that doesn't make him a good moderator, what else will?

Then there is Tru Huynh of CentOS fame who still has time on his hands to run CentOS-fr.

Daniel DeKok, resident spell checker (I haven't found an error on the wiki he didn't spot first) is running CentOS-nl.

David Hrbáč has offered to run CentOS-cz, hoping that he'll still have some free time after you storm the list.

Roger Peña Escobio and Ernesto Pérez Estévez wanted to do us a big favour with running the CentOS-es list, answering the multitude of requests for a spanish CentOS support venue.

And Christoph Maser and me are going to run CentOS-de, just so there is a german mailing list also.

So give them all a big hand for offering their help!

You can find out about and subscribe to the lists at:

And now go and discuss! Ask questions if you have one! Answer questions if you know the answer!

Hope to see you here and there,

Ralph
