Hi all,
You might be aware that there is a CentOS category on the Fedora Discourse instance:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/centos/71
There have been some discussions about having a dedicated Discourse instance for CentOS. Discourse has a lot of advantages, such as better moderation and integration with our accounts system. But I understand that many people are comfortable with their existing workflows.
There's no point in running Discourse if it doesn't get enough buy-in. So I'm asking for input on using Discourse for various things:
Project announcements, like events, meetings, and infra changes
Activity reports, such as for SIGs and events
User support, replacing forums.centos.org
Development of Stream itself, basically centos-devel
Development of stuff inside SIGs
Replacement for the comments section of the blog
Alternatively, just replacing the blog entirely
Something else I'm not thinking of
Silly me, I thought we'd already had this discussion, at least twice.
The current CentOS forum moderators have no wish to continue once the CentOS 7 EOL date in 2024 comes and goes. There was discussion in various tickets about replacing it with a CentOS Discourse and one was set up and is running. There is a forum notice on the current CentOS forums that points Stream users at that discourse instance as the Stream people said that they would take more part in answering questions there.
As far as I am concerned, that's it. It's done.
