Hi everyone.
I have been main admin on official Facebook Group since 2011, but I am planing to slowly pass down that duty.
With AlmaLinux stable appearing and me soon switching my laptop and internet facing servers to AL8 and Samba+KVM servers to TrueNAS, and my much diminished going online on Facebook (every several days at most), it would be good if CentOS board started asking around for Facebook group admins and moderators who are willing to offer newbies clues and links to solve their problems, so they can be properly acclimated to Facebook environment. Best choice would be forum moderators if they use Facebook regularly. Based on log of approving new members, Ralph Angenendt and few other admins also only come intermittently, every few days, so new blood would be welcome.

Thank you for your years of service, Ljubomir.

Or... it could just get nuked from orbit...
Just a thought :)
Heh, I just looked ... the group's About text is still, after all these years, mostly the same as when I last edited it so long ago :)

Given that RH have made it pretty plain that it's not the market segment that they're interested in, I'd agree. Close it down.

Considering problems people will face on other clones is the same, I would rather have group change owner and stop being official CentOS group and then leave it to few admins not with @centos.org address.
Same goes for CentOS Wiki and Forums, it would be nice if they did not stop functioning, they are important source of information and help, even if they are freezed but visible.

+1, thanks Ljubomir, I've witnessed some of the work you've put in over the last couple of months.

Makes sense, thanks for taking it to the list.

I'd rather not nuke it from orbit. I'd check with Rich Bowen first to see if he has any ideas (or would be willing to take over if no one else wants to step up).

I would be glad to take this from you, in my role as community manager, if you're willing to pass it to me. Hopefully we can also find some active users who are willing to join me in that.
It's still an important resource, and will continue to be so for users both of CentOS Linux 7 and of CentOS Stream.
Thanks for your years of service managing the site.
