I received the following PM (below) on the CentOS forums the other day.
I don't know if Bill has made contact with anyone in the ArtWork team
regarding this yet, so just passing it along (apologies for the delay -
I didn't get a notification of the PM).

Sent: 2008/12/20 21:54:58 Art team feature
Hi Phil,
My name is Bill DeJohn (Dadster). I am co-founder of Linux Graphics
Users forum. Each month we feature a distro's art team (see here
http://linuxgraphicsusers.com/index.php?board=48.0) and I'd like to
feature the CentOS art team in an up-coming month. Could you please pass
this pm on to whoever I need to contact to set up an article featuring
CentOS.
Thanks, Bill
Hi,
I just installed and fully updated Centos 5.2 on my laptop.
Unfortunately, this one need at least the version 6.8.0 of the
xorg-x11-drv-ati (available in Fedora 9), and this driver need
xorg-x11-server-Xorg >= 1.4.99.1 :-(
So, I need to rebuild many things if I want to use centos on my laptop, and I
want to use it!
As this is the first time I use Centos, could you tell me which tools I need
and how I have to do to rebuild packages that I'll probably take on Fedora 9
mirrors?
Regards,
Alain

Hi there
I note that the new kernels for 5.3 will have the bcm43xx work from
2.6.25 backported into them.
Does this mean that the driver name will change to b43 (as i thought
that bcm43xx was deprecated)?
If not then will we need to change the firmware by cutting from
4.150.10.5 and will bcm43xx-fwcutter work for this?
thanks
mike
Hi,
I should want to know if I find a bug that I know it probably couldn't be
fixed by the Centos team, I can (I have to) report it on RH bugzilla?
Regards,
Alain

Hi,
We discussed this on #centos after yet another "centos" user had problem
using yum. What is missing is a page targetted at
integrators/distributors with a list of requirements for using the
"CentOS" product name or even saying it is derived, based or build on
CentOS.
We might be able to kill more than one bird with a single stone, so I am
looking for more things we want to prevent distributors/integrators doing
without making it impossible for them to use CentOS altogether.
My first concern was the support problem, what do we (at minimum) expect
to have when users say they have a CentOS. A working yum using the CentOS
official repositories, a minimal set of official packages (which ?).
Without complying to the list of requirements, they may not refer to
CentOS (and people will not have the wrong expectations for support).

Feedback please ?

test these on non-production machines only for now. And all feedback is
appreciated.
keepcache is now turned on, how does this impact everyone's yum setups ?

While there are quite a few people using central VCS's like svn and cvs
for hosting packaging repo's and building from them using automated
tools - is anyone away of a decentralised setup using either Hg or Git ?
