Good afternoon from Singapore,
May I know roughly how many more months before CentOS 8.0 will be released?

Thank you very much.

It'll be done when it's ready. You've got the correct site to keep an eye on the status of the project.
If you want to start working on EL8, I suggest getting a Developers Subscription and use the one free license to build a test system with RHEL8.

Well .. as explained before, it is a very irritative process .. (ie .. do this, test, do that, test .. rinse, repeat).
But with where we are right now .. I don't think it will take more than one more month to finish and test.
Obviously, we have people working on it every day and a QA team helping us test what we are doing every day and we are still maintaining CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 as well.
But we are making progress and we are getting closer.
There are many things that we need to work on .. including, but not limited to a whole new build system (Koji AND MBS together), a completely new way to maintain installer images and repos (via Koji because of the modules).
A whole new repository paradigm (BaseOS, AppStream, Devel {things not released but needed to build BaseOS and AppStream} .. etc, etc.
Anyway .. we are working on it very hard and we will have it released as soon as we can.
We don't have date yet.

I wonder if the use of "irritative" instead of "iterative" was intentional, subconsciously or not. :))

It made me smile too. It's rather a good coinage though.
Where can we learn more about the workflow and software used to build CentOS RPMs and iso images? This will be extremely helpful to everyone facing the same challenges of building a custom distro.
Thank you all for the hard work on CentOS.

So for EL8 we are using koji combined with mbs to build:
koji: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system
mbs (module-build-service): https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/modularity/
