how minimal is a minimal too minimal
by Karanbir Singh 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi Something that keeps coming up is how far can we minimalise an Instance / Image / Installer before we cant call it CentOS anymore. In the past, what we have generally stuck with is: - CentOS Shipped kernel - Initscripts - functional yum - functional openssh-server - atleast all of @base however, in some cases, openssh-server might not be needed, and initscripts has a fairly long dep tree, similarly making yum work needs a few things. Can we get away with losing yum as an example and replacing it with a script that says 'need yum? I can download and install it for you' and have it hit mirror.centos.org for static yum and yum dep urls ? similarly, should nobase and nocore be acceptable ? the aim being to setup a base image, that is under 150mb to download and deploy. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Board Meeting Today
by Karanbir Singh 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

hi Guys, I need to get a more elegant way to map time, task and board meetings - but we have made some headway in getting minutes and content from past meetings online on the website. Also, every other meeting is now held publicly on a google hangout with the recorded session being made available immediately after. Todays meeting is going to consider SIG proposals for - Storage SIG http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Proposal - Cloud Instance SIG http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/CloudInstance/Proposal & http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/CloudInstance I request everyone who is interested in being a part of this process come join us on #centos-devel irc.freenode.net at 21:00 UTC today, 19th Mar 2014. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CentOS Docker images
by Chris St. Pierre 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

I've volunteered to help maintain official CentOS Docker ( https://www.docker.io/) images, and Karanbir suggested I email the list to "thrash out what we need at the infra end to achieve these images." Currently, there are 'centos' images available in the top-level Docker registry namespace, but these are maintained by dotcloud. I think we can do better. :) As I see it, there are two ways we can do this: 1. Use ami-creator (https://github.com/katzj/ami-creator) or something derived from it, to build Docker images from a kickstart file. This is how CentOS AMIs are currently built. Pros: Consistent with how AMIs are usually built; Kickstart is a known entity. Cons: ami-creator won't actually work for us as-is; requires a full kickstart config. 2. Use the mkimage-yum.sh script from Docker ( https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/contrib/mkimage-yum.sh) customized as necessary to produce a minimal base image. Pros: Consistent with how Docker images are usually built; we can contribute changes to mkimage-yum.sh upstream to help other Yum-based distros; only requires a yum config. Cons: Requires changing a shell script to make changes to the base image, not just a Kickstart. Unfortunately, Docker Trusted Build ( http://blog.docker.io/2013/11/introducing-trusted-builds/) can't be used for base images, AFAICT. In either case, we'll need a git repo to hold the code and configs used to build the images. If we follow the example of the official CentOS AMIs ( http://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS) it should be sufficient to provide a reasonably up-to-date base image ("latest" or "nightly" or similar), and a few recent dot releases. Of course, once CentOS 7 is released we'll need to do that for both 6 and 7, but that shouldn't be difficult if we do this right. Thoughts on process and/or infrastructure? -- Chris St. Pierre

CentOS 7 Installer Artwork
by Alain Reguera Delgado 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi, Does anyone, with beta version of CentOS 7 installed, could describe the installer artwork requirements? I've downloaded the http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/source/SRPMS/redhat-logos-69.1.9-1… file and didn't find any image for anaconda but the syslinux-splash.png file inside it. Is this the only image shown in the CentOS 7 installation process or there is any other image shown in the process. Any idea of related source packages to take a look in? Best Regards, al.

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
