People started to wonder who is acting centos6 on twitter. Is this a reliable account?
No, that is not an official account for the project. @centos is run by Karnabir, and as far as I know that's the only official CentOS twitter account.
I am the one behind the CentOS6 account. I try to keep people informed about the CentOS6 release and point them to the QA calendar when there is an update.
Also, from my past experience, the public release of a CentOS version comes a few days after the synchronization to external mirrors. That is why one of the latest tweet approximates the public release date on July 1st 2011.
A lot of followers for this account are from Japan. I guess using twitter to receive updates about a subject is more common there. I'm trying to give more exposure to the QA calendar (a great tool for the community) by following and anticipating it.
