Hi all.

A represent Official CentOS group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2371797727/

Recently we have grown to 3.240+ members, and it looks like we are now more visible since we reached 3000+ members. In last 7 days we had 131 new members ~19 per day, mostly newbie's with problems.

Since I am only active admin/knowledgeable person in the group, I am under big load. Karanbir and Ralph try to help, but I am mostly alone "out there"

So if any of you are willing to answer to newbie questions and maybe add to our howto documents, you are more then welcome. Be warned that it is imperative to be polite to them, since Facebook users are more spoiled then others, but I think it is one of the best way to popularize CentOS among the newbie population that is deciding what distro to choose for it's main distro.

Just sending them to wiki, forums or here is not really an option since most of them will not bother with registering, they would most likely just find some inadequate howto on the net, mainly not even for rpm distro but explaining how to manually download and compile packages :-/

Again, I believe that grooming newbie's on Facebook can be great for CentOS popularization, since General Linux group has 36.000+ members (and 244 new members in last 7 days at the moment).

I can not offer you admin status, but those well known to CentOS team can be promoted by Karanbir.
