Hello,
I'm more interested on using a centos brand linux. I would prefer to help creating such a distro than using one that i don't know how it's being made, mantained, monitored, etc.
If for some reason i start using your distribution and later on your company is bought and stops being mantained and shipping it i'm in the dark...
Is there a PPC64 Sig out there?
yes!
We are getting things together ( well, I just wrote up what should be an announcement to go out in the next few days ).
We've got a PoC done for both BE and LE ppc64 - the ppc multilib stuff needs some level of attention, but we will find out about that soon.
There are a few ways to get involved, either shadow the builds on your own hardware - or work through build fails in the central service, helping rectify things. You can also help with testing the distro ( including the installer ), and most importantly, you can help with docs around the project, the code, and how other people can get involved as well.
As a free win, it would be great to see a group of people help bridge the SIG content from x86 over to these arch's as well - but we are a few miles away from having a usable base first.
