hi,
Over the years, we have had a silent group of people, who have helped, promoted, contributed code, helped QA, helped in various other parallel efforts that all bring together the CentOS Ecosystem. Its time we did something to promote these people, make them visible and to give them credit for the work and efforts they have been putting in. After all, a large chunk of reward for open source efforts is recognition.
To this end, I'd like to propose the CentOS VIP effort. A draft overview is posted here : http://wiki.centos.org/KaranbirSingh/VIP
A key takeaway from this is that this group would in effect take over running most of the project activities, with the CentOS Core team now back tracking to running admin and project specific tasks ( eg. making sure the centos.org domain name is paid for and renewed! ).
I am looking for comments on things to add / remove / change, as well as a couple of voulenteers to help run the infra around this effort.

Very nice idea! Lots of nice men, women and cats around that deserve a bit of credit. :-)
Count me in as well for whatever needs to be done.

You have a 'hands up' from me re helping with the infra.

Hi,
Firstly, thanks for the offers to help, Trevor, Nux and Christoph. Should we get together on irc early next week and just have a chat about how to get stuff started up ?

Secondly, how does everyone feel about the title... VIP is clearly not the right term, Captains has been called cheesy, Ambassadors has been called misleading, Advocates and Consul seem to be the front runners here. Anyone fancy proposing another term ? or should we just vote on Consul and Advocate and run with that.

What about Chieftains? "The leader or head of a group, especially of a clan or tribe."

KB, I too think this is a good idea. Maybe IRC is the proper place to brainstorm on a better naming scheme :)
Really Good Idea. "Captain" is a good title overall. "Evangelist" is also an option; its is used at many places in tech industry.
You can count me in.
