promo idea

I've been to FOSDEM this weekend and noticed the small number of CentOS people at the booth. The Ubuntu people work with Local Community Teams to support and promote the distro. I think it would be beneficial for CentOS to setup a similar structure. At the moment it's mostly sysadmins who introduce/sneak CentOS into businesses. Local Community Teams can setup a booth at computer fairs and other events. This way the general public (small businesses, non-profit organisations, schools, ....) are exposed to CentOS.

Local Community Team for CentOS
by 陈鲍孜 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

Hello, I’ve read the mailing lists talking about the “Local Community Team” stuff for CentOS, which makes our team very interested. Our team belongs to the Operating System Engineering Research Center in China. Now we are trying to build a new distro based on CentOS. The new distro we are building includes some new features developed by ourselves. For example, we are planning to redistribute it on secondary architecture such as MIPS and PPC while maintaining the x86 platform. In the future, there may be SPARC platform required. Besides different architectures, we have got our own virtualization solution called LuValley, which we want to integrate into our distro in the near future and open source. There are also a group of people in our team researching security Linux. I am wondering if we could have some cooperation to make CentOS better, for a stable, efficient and popular base-distro is undoubtedly beneficial for both of us. What I’m doing is building a infrastructure developing environment for my team. I’m trying to transplant the feodra’s koji building system to the CentOS which can make other people integrate their achievement smoothly. We hope that by our effort more Chinese developers could take part in the development for Linux distribution in the future. However, we’ve also faced lots of challenges. The research center have only been found for just a year. Some of my colleagues used to developing on FreeBSD and lack an efficiency workflow and automatic tools when moving to build Linux distro. Yours, sincerely Chen Baozi
