hi Guys, promo store at http://promo.centos.org/ is now online. All the remaining T Shirts from our print run just before Fosdem are now online there. There are a 178 TShirts in all with me; breakdown : + 100 Team CentOS + 100 Linux Ninja - 46 taken to Fosdem 2012 - 4 to CentOS developers, contributors at CentOS Booth + 28 of the Classic Grey CentOS TShirts I had from last year I've just announced the url in the main list, so I suspect it will be a day or so before that stock is all gone! Will post details on what we are left with in money terms, and we can look at either getting more TShirts done ( submit new designs ? ) and/or stickers. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

DVD Media / Any needed before 6.3 release?
by Andreas Rogge 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

If I understand it correctly the next Event planned is LinuxTag in Berlin starting May 23rd to 26th, but there's nothing committed yet. Do we have any Events where we are committed that take place before 6.3 will be released? How many disks do you think we will need for that? During FOSDEM we gave away around 140 disks. Would've probably been more, but we *always* ran out of stock (I haven't had any idea how many people wanted DVDs) I haven't had time to do the inventory yet, but I guess it was almost equal share between the x86_64 Live, i386 Install and x86_64 Install. I was surprised how many people actually took the i386 install DVDs. I talked to Karanbir concerning merging multiple Images onto a Double-Layer DVD. From what I heard right now that's not a good idea. Someone doing professional disk duplication told me that they have a significant (i.e. >20%) amount of degraded disks when they produce DL-DVDs. As DL is just a few cents cheaper than producing three single-layer disks it doesn't make sense if burning fails that often. So for now, I don't propose to do a DL DVD anymore. However, I do propose to merge x86_64 and i386 Live DVDs. They will both fit onto a single-layer DVD. That would bring us from 4 different Images down to three. In fact we could try to do what Fedora did. They're able to autodetect 32-bit/64-bit and boot the appropriate Live Image. As that happens inside the bootloader we should be able to reproduce it. If it is appreciated, I'd give it a try. Regards, Andreas -- Solvention Ltd. & Co.

T Shirts Slogan + Design
by Karanbir Singh 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

hi Guys, anyone fancy taking a shot at designing a Tshirt for us ? And/Or offer up some slogans that we could use / ideas that we could use for the TShirts ? The thinking is :: monochrome print on TShirts of different colours ( we were thinking the CentOS Blue, CentOS Green and CentOS Yellow/Gold ) and have a slogan or artwork across the front ( or back ) -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
