Florian,

We would love RHEL Product Owners participating upstream within the community. Several of the SIGs have very active Red Hat contributors and we always welcome more, whether POs, PMs, engineers, or tech writers among many opportunities.

Closer communication and coordination is always welcome and we have several initiatives to improve this. I'm not sure if you were thinking about attending CentOS Connect at the end of the month in Brussels or not but would love to have you join us.

Would it be possible to make it a SIG requirement to reach out to
relevant RHEL Product Owners before the scope is extended to additional
components?

It may be possible to complete the work the SIG requires in CentOS
Stream proper in some cases.

Thanks,
Florian
