Reviving the List / FrOSCon 2013
by Andreas Rogge 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Seems like nothing has happened on this List since FOSDEM this year. It also turns out I didn't take care of many things as my priorities are shifting around and CentOS somehow got somewhat left behind. Some of you will have noticed this, as I didn't attend Loadays (again!) or the Dojo. Moreover I didn't even notify anyone - sorry if I caused any headaches. Truth is i cowardly refused to tell anyone why I was unable to visit Loadays and Dojo. Afterwards I felt ashamed, so the simplest move for me was to just stay silent. However, even though I didn't say anything I still took care we have a booth at FrOSCon this year. The conference takes place on 24th and 25th this month. I know this is a really short notice, but if anyone is willing to attend anyway we'd be glad to have you here. Nevertheless, Sarah and me can also handle the booth alone. If you need accommodation "on a budget" you can stay at our place for free (we do have lots of space). As an alternative I can try to find you a hotel - unlike the previous years the conference doesn't seem to offer accommodation this year. Regards, Andreas Just for the records: It was my best man's birthday on Loadays weekend and he and his wife were expecting their baby just a few days later. So in fact it was his last birthday party before becoming a dad and i figured that this was way more important than Loadays, even though I had already been committed. -- Solvention Ltd. & Co.

A CentOS Conference
by Karanbir Singh 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

hi Guys, I think its a good time to start talking about a CentOS Conference in the summer of this year. At the moment, I'm looking at a first week of July, in the UK ( but not in London ) event. The idea being that this allows people who use and build CentOS to come together to talk about issues, concerns and also ideas on how we can better serve the user communities and expand them into areas where CentOS might be a good fit. We could, as an easy starting point, have a 1 day event. Its easier to manage, but I feel that to get real value, it would be good to bring in speakers from a diverse background and userbase - so two days, with a warm-up or tutorials based 3rd day might be a good format. Volunteers to help ? Ideas ? - KB

Fwd: FOSDEM stands, practical information
by Fabian Arrotin 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

FYI ... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FOSDEM stands, practical information Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 23:06:21 +0000 From: Tias Guns <tias(a)fosdem.org> To: FOSDEM stands <stands(a)fosdem.org> Dear FOSDEM stand holders, This email contains a lot of practical information, please read it until the end. Location -------- You will be located in the K building, on the first floor. Attached (Kniv1_stands.jpg) is an image of the ground plan. Note that this is just a draft; the scale of the tables is an estimate and the spacing between stands is somewhat arbitrary. We've assigned the stand places as such: '''Group A''' 1. KDE 2. KDE 3. QT 4. Gnome 5. Gnome 6. CentOS 7. CentOS 8. Mageia 9. Ubuntu 10. Fedora 11. Fedora '''Group B''' 1. openSuse 2. openSuse 3. debian 4. debian 5. ownCloud 6. oVirt 7. GlusterFS 8. Xen.org '''Group C''' 1. FSFe 2. FSFe 3. FSFe 4. Mozilla 5. Mozilla 6. Libre Graphics Magazine 7. OpenStreetMap 8. Ca-cert 9. Ca-cert If you would prefer to be closer to another stand, or if you have any other questions or requests just contact us! Shipping -------- A number of people have been asking for a shipping address. I'm afraid we don't have any presence on the campus except for during FOSDEM, so we can not provide you with a shipping address. Please try to make your own shipping arrangements, but should you really really have no other option then do mail us. Timings ------- Build-up can start from 9:00 on Saturday. Visitors will start passing by slowly around 10-11, it will be at full speed by 13:00 (end of keynotes). There is an overnight storage room in the H and K building. You can also leave stuff in the building overnight (buildings close), but we can not 'guard' the hallways on Sunday morning. We can also not provide any insurance or take responsibility in case of damage or theft. We do have security staff on campus at all times. Sunday starts around 9:00-10:00 and the tear-down starts at 18:00. By 19:00 the latest you should have cleared out so we can start cleaning. Varia ----- We provide a limited number of table-cloths, but you are more than welcome to provide any on your own, especially if you have something like a banner for your project. We will provide you with power sockets (*) but if you have a couple of extension cables, we recommend you do bring them along if possible. (*) note that Belgium uses type E sockets: http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm#plugs_e If you need any adapters, make sure to bring them along as we cannot provide you with any ourselves. High-speed Internet uplink will be provided by means of WiFi everywhere. If you have a device that requires a wired ethernet connection you should take a bridge device with you. If you have any further questions, please contact us at stands(a)fosdem.org Thank you for your participation and see you in Brussels soon : ) Kind regards, The FOSDEM Team

More about T-Shirts
by Karanbir Singh 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Hi Guys, We usually hand out Tshirts at events against a certain fixed cost, this tends to be $10 or Eur 10 or £10 depending on where the event is - with that in mind, if we are unable to find sponsors for T-shirts at Fosdem, I'd like to go ahead and get some done as long as we can recover the base cost ( the plain white LinuxNinja or TeamCentOS ones were £5+VAT each to have printed in the 250 quantity bracket ). The question now is : - how many do we need - should we stick with those two designs ? - what sizes I've asked a friend to look into proposing a design as well, lets see what we get from there. -- 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

USB keys source ?
by Karanbir Singh 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

hi guys, A large hardware vendor has offered to pay for USB keys with CentOS pre-packaged on there, to be distributed against no-cost, either at meetings and events or against postage cost from promo.centos.org However, they dont have the time and resources to get the work done to make this happen. And have asked us to look into that. How does one go about finding potential sources for 8gb USB Keys ? -- 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

Haowei would like to join CentOS Promo SIG Group and help CentOS Promotion things in China
by Haowei.Lee 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hello all, As a Centos user for more than 5 years and a zh-cn wiki contributor, I was always considering how to promote CentOS in our China. Before join to work with Timothy for Centos zh-cn wiki, I have kept contributing to Fedora which was another opensource project more than 5 years.I ever tried to promote Fedora things in our China SNS things esp for local Chinese twitter which was called Weibo. I've seen that there were thousands of people come to join and discuss on Weibo after I helped to open an official Weibo account with the help from Red Hat Inc. Now, although I seldom involved with Fedora, I still found that the quantity of people come to join Weibo of Fedora had gone beyond more than 20 thousands and kept increasing. I here apply to you to consider to open an official Weibo for promotion of CentOS in China as Weibo could combine both sharing information&news and discussing or helping people to know more about CentOS. I could help to finish all process for opening an official and verified Weibo account and work with Timothy for maintaining the Weibo account. Would like to meet any team member online (My IRC nickname is Haowei)for detail discussion if you do not mind. Thank you very much. Best Regards, Haowei from China
