CentOS newsletter
by Rich Bowen 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Dave, The newsletter list is one-way, and so your response to it was sent through moderation. I would *love* to have your help in getting the newsletter together. So far, it's just me, so there's no other communication channels, but the right one is probably the promo list - https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-promo (copied) This month, we have (so far) no reports from any of the SIGs, and that's where I've been working: Showing up for the SIG IRC meetings, and asking them for a report, as well as digging through their meeting minutes - https://www.centos.org/minutes/2018/ - looking for items of interest. The next newsletter is scheduled to go out on July 2nd - I try to send newsletters on the first Tuesday of the month. Welcome aboard! -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

Community/Promo update, Friday, July 22
by Rich Bowen 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi, folks, Just wanted to give a quick update on what I've been doing around CentOS Promo over the last few weeks, and what's coming up. Please help me in promoting all of these things around the community. * The CFP for the CentOS Dojo at DevConf.US closes this weekend. Details at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/DevConfUS2018 To be blunt, I'm leaning very hard towards canceling it, due to the lack of talk submissions that I can actually schedule. So far we have perhaps 3 presentations I would consider scheduling. I will have to make a decision on Monday, so if you are waiting until the last minute, it has arrived. * We will have a booth/table in the community room at DevConf.us. I'm looking for volunteers. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KDVgTO4M4UFdtONRHAjKTFRnwUMk4P2tTkZ… I just need people who can be friendly, and answer questions. * Next week I will be at ISC-HPC.com - the European Supercomputing conference. My main goal there is to get video interviews with the students participating in the Student Cluster Competition (because they're all using CentOS) and talk with the research organizations and Universities who are present (because they are, too). * The CFP is open for the CentOS Dojo at CERN. https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/CERN2018 The CFP is going very well, and we'll be able to field a great schedule, based on what I've seen so far. Keep them coming. Also, make sure to register, since security is tight and you won't get in the front door if you haven't registered. * We have booked a space for the annual Dojo at FOSDEM. Same place as last year. Early details are at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2019 Look for a formal CFP coming real soon. * We have sponsored Ohio LinuxFest, in conjunction with Fedora. https://ohiolinux.org/ I will soon be looking for volunteers to staff our table/booth there. * I am considering a presence at the following events: * Open Source Summit, Edinburgh - https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-europe-2018/ * Open Source Summit, Vancouver - https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-north-america-… * https://sc18.supercomputing.org Dallas If there are other events where you feel we should have a presence, please speak up soon, as my calendar is filling up. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

CentOS Dojo at CERN (October 19th)
by Rich Bowen 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

For the second year, we will be hosting a Dojo at CERN, on the Friday immediately before the Open Source Summit in Edinburgh - that is, on October 19th. Details of this event, including the call for papers, are available at http://cern.ch/centos Information about how you can help are at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/CERN2018 In particular, at this point, we need help spreading the word about the call for papers, or suggestions of individuals that we should solicit talks from. We're particularly interested in content that is relevant to research organizations like CERN - HPC, high-scale data storage, cloud computing, and so on - but really any CentOS-related topic is fair game. -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166

CentOS Dojo at DevConf.us
by Rich Bowen 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

DevConf.us is a new conference, modeled after DevConf.cz and DevConf.in, which will held in Boston on August 17th - 19th. We will be holding a CentOS Dojo on the Thursday before DevConf - August 16th - also at Boston University. Details about this event are here: https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/DevConfUS2018 The Call for Papers is currently open. If you expect to be in the area, please consider submitting a talk. Or, if you have a suggestion for someone from the local area who you think would be a good speaker, please let me know. So far we have a couple of speakers who have agreed to present - Matthew Miller, of the Fedora community, and the folks from the Research Computing Systems group at Boston University are trying to find the right person to come talk to us about the projects that they work on. Additionally, we'll have a table/booth at the main DevConf.us event. We welcome anybody who wants to come help staff table and talk to our community members. -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166

Ohio LinuxFest sponsorship (October 12, 13)
by Rich Bowen 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

CentOS and Fedora are working together to sponsor the upcoming Ohio LinuxFest in Columbus, October 12th and 13th. Our logo isn't up on the site yet, but should be in the next day or two. This is just a short drive from home for me, so I'll be carting the tablecloth and pull-up banner and stickers, and some demo hardware, up to Columbus for the weekend. Details of our presence there are (will be) at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/2019/OhioLinux If you are (or will be) in the area around that time, you would be more than welcome to come hang out at our table, and talk to our community. OLF is a free, grassroots event, drawing somewhere around 1000 enthusiasts, mostly from the local area. It tends to have a lot of students, but also people from local industry. The audience tends to be very different on the Friday and Saturday, with lots of families and kids showing up on Saturday, and Friday being more corporate. -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166
