I would like to formally propose a new project for CentOS for inclusion on projects.centos.org: CentAS.
for me - wierd name. the jboss stuff is a part of the webstack, which is something that is going to get done / built anyway, so the project should be aimed at that and the name should signify that. Also, the webstack includes other things ( which will be available for testing later today ), which are not Java related.
The CentAS project aims to provide a free and redistributable version of JBoss which compiles with Red Hat trademark guidelines and policies. Each release will mirror the stable community releases provided by jboss.org, sans trademarked names and logos. The 4.2 branch will be the initial release target.
How is this going to overlap / co-exist with the rhwas stuff ?
Future considerations include packaging/redistribution within CentOS, as well as the possibility of creating a free and open CentOS Application Stack.
First question on that is - what jvm / jre / jdk is going to be used ? is it completely open source and are there any distribution / redistribution issues associated with this ?
I will serve as the initial project lead, and developer.
you still need a centos developer to join your team of developers :D
