Centos 7 VS Gnome 3
by Fred Smith 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

RH seems, in their wisdom, to have settled on Gnome3 or KDE. As far as I can see, they aren't offering any other desktop environments. I can't stand Gnome3, and don't care a whole lot for KDE 4.x, though it doesn't irritate me the way Gnome 3 does. Given the new relationship between RH and Centos, are their any new possibilities of including (or offering as extras) things like Mate or Cinnamon? Or will I need to roll my own (or bring 'em in from Fedora) ?? Thanks to the whole Centos team for the really good distribution. I hope to be with you for many more years, if I can. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) -----------------------------

[CentOS] Seeking Speakers for Upcoming Dojos
by Joe Brockmeier 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hi all, If you follow the centos-promo mailing list (it exists!)[1] you may have noticed a lot of discussion lately around putting together a lot of CentOS Dojos this year. We're currently planning, and have announced, several Dojos: * March 31 (Santa Clara, CA): http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/SantaClara2014 * April 10 (Denver, CO): http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Denver2014 * April 11 (Lyon, France): http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Lyon2014 And we have quite a few more coming, all over the world. If you are using CentOS in production, doing interesting things on CentOS, or have ideas for presentations that would be very interesting for CentOS users, please feel free to get in touch with me or KB about speaking at one of the Dojos. We're very much looking for presentations or discussions that will be relevant to folks who are using CentOS at scale. Case studies, best practices, tips and tricks, etc. What we avoid at Dojos are product pitches or 101-type presentations that won't be useful for experienced admins / users. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

New SIG I would like to propose
by Pouar 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

I would like to create a project with JBoss EAP similar to what CentOS does with RHEL. A proposed name would be CentAP for Community Enterprise Application Platform. I think the CentOS community would definitely benefit from this. -- Pouar

interest in Cloud Instance SIG (from the Synnefo and Ganeti side)
by Constantinos Venetsanopoulos 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hello everybody, I'm interested in participating in the Cloud Instance SIG and help provide official CentOS images for the Synnefo open source cloud platform: http://www.synnefo.org which is built on top of Google Ganeti: https://code.google.com/p/ganeti/ Currently, we are providing to our users our 'system' CentOS image which is just a bundle of the official CentOS iso. The image file is just a raw dump of a disk. Synnefo does not require any special software running inside the image (e.g.: cloud-init) to take care of customization. All customization (setting passwords, hostnames, injecting files, SSH keys, resizing, etc) is done by Synnefo itself in an isolated, virtualized environment for maximum security before spawning the actual VM. So, it would be nice to just redirect our users to the CentOS official image for Synnefo and Ganeti :) Hope to take part in this. Thanks, Constantinos

Update on stats of SIG plans
by Karanbir Singh 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

hi, I am sure people are wondering what the state of the SIG's is at this point. And this is a quick recap of stuff from my perspective. We have 8 SIG's that are under active consideration and planning. Every SIG proposal needs to go via the CentOS Board for inclusion and setup. The CentOS Board is starting to get a regular meeting schedule doing, and will meet every Wednesday ( minutes for every meeting will be posted on the website, Jim is working out the mechanics for that ). Starting with the Board meeting of the 5th March, we will consider SIG plans, no more than 2 a meeting, at every other board meeting. These meetings will be held in public, and the SIG's being considered will be notified in advance so they can come and be a part of the conversations ( and any followup can happen immediately after the meeting ). In the coming days, I will be reaching out to the people who nominated themselves to be SIG coordinators, for the SIG's I've offered to help sponsor and start working on the proposals. The proposals will be on the wiki.centos.org site and I'll try to post updates to this list ( centos-devel ) so others can chime in and we incorporate wider, public viewpoints on the proposal. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CentOS 7 Artwork
by Alain Reguera Delgado 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Hi, I saw the header artwork at seven.centos.org for first time yesterday afternoon (after a long time off-line) and couldn't resist the motivation of imagining a similar artwork for CentOS 7. Then I read "As a community, for the community" article by Karanbir. Then, with that information in mind, walked one mile from work to home thinking on possible design combinations. When I was at home, I washed my face and started to design using Inkscape and Gimp on a CentOS 6 workstation. As result, the following images arrived: http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Themes/Motifs/CentOS7/Sketch1?action=AttachF… These are initial ideas (sketches) and may change in the future. I appreciate any comment or suggestion you may have. Best Regards. al.

scons not available on CentOS 6 i386 repos
by Christoph Schug 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi, I was wondering why the scons package in CentOS 6, while being a noarch package, is available on x86_64 repos only. I was checking several mirrors world-wide but it seems to be consistently missing on i386. Best, Christoph

NX : centos-extras versus EPEL
by Akemi Yagi 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

I know a number of people have been using the nx/freenx packages available from the centos-extras repo. Now, EPEL recently started distributing NX packages. When you run 'yum update' with epel enabled, it will replace CentOS' nx as seen here: http://pastebin.centos.org/8101/ Have any of you tried EPEL's version? If so, can you share your findings? The open-source edition of NX (version 3.5.x) is virtually static because there would not be updates from NoMachine. I don't know if EPEL made any changes/additions to what CentOS offers. Akemi
