Hello guys, I saw that a few days back there was a talk about encorporating the ksplice toolchain into CentOS and creating rebootless upgrades to the CentOS kernel.
I'm really interested in helping for that.
Where/how we can start work ?
Best regards, Marian Marinov

One installs and works in Fedora, which is always a few kernels ahead and is going to get grossly further ahead behind the not-yet-announced CentOS 6.0 publication, and will evolve over the next 3 years while our favorite upstream vendor keeps 6.0 locked down for business stability.
For such leading edge features not yet integrated into typical kernel and system support, you'll have far more success advancing and getting it tested than working inside the fundamentlaly 4 year old architecture of the available CentOS 5.5.

Thats not true at all. Ksplice works fine with CentOS-5 ( or even 4 for that matter, its just a case of how much effort one is ready to put into the process). Imho, C4 is at a point where this would not be of much interest now. But C5 is very much live out there.
And Marian has already had limited success with this. More news on this front in the next few days/weeks.
