CentOS 15th Birthday, 14 May 2019
by Rich Bowen 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Starting this discussion well in advance so that we have plenty of time to figure out what we want to do. Looking back five years: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-promo/2014-July/001382.html I'm hoping to do many of the same things that were suggested last time, including: * Birthday cakes at each Dojo event in 2019, starting at FOSDEM. (I'm investigating adding this to our lunch at the Brussels Dojo.) * Commemorative sports jersey in the style of the one in the above email thread. * Retrospective blog series, including thoughts from the project founders, statistics over the years, and stories from users about how their use of CentOS has evolved over the last 15 years. * Possibly a refresh of our web site design (including a consistent theme across wiki, forums, blog), incorporating a "15 years" message of some kind. If you'd like to help with this effort, or have other suggestions, please speak up. The actual date of the birthday is 14 May 2019, but I think we want to make it a year-long celebration, rather than a single day event. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

Fwd: [FOSDEM standholders] Welcome to the FOSDEM 2019 standholders mailing list
by Fabian Arrotin 01 Dec '18

01 Dec '18

Just to inform that we'll be at Fosdem 2019 and our request for a stand was accepted. WRT "logistic", I'd like to see what a "single table for all projects" means, but I'll keep the list informed as soon as I'll have received the answer -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [FOSDEM standholders] Welcome to the FOSDEM 2019 standholders mailing list Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 20:51:40 +0000 From: Alasdair G Kergon <agk(a)fosdem.org> To: standholders(a)lists.fosdem.org If you are receiving this message it means your email address was included on a stand application for FOSDEM 2019 and it has been accepted. The list is both for announcements and for discussions. Should you need to, you can contact us privately on stands(a)fosdem.org. Thank you all for your patience while we worked things out. We decided to allocate all stands as a single table this year so that we could include a few more projects.

Volunteers needed: FOSDEM Dojo content selection
by Rich Bowen 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

I need 3 or 4 people who are willing to review the submitted content for the FOSDEM Dojo and select a schedule. I estimate 2-3 hours of your time, and I'm able to "pay" for your participation with CentOS swag - see https://photos.app.goo.gl/a9GqLnm1WUUJebU17 - and my undying appreciation. :) Please contact me off-list if you're willing to do this, and you feel competent to evaluate the quality of submission abstracts. It is not required that you'll be attending the event to participate. You're also welcome if you're one of the people who have submitted a presentation. Thanks. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166
