CentOS Pulse - The Bi-weekly CentOS Newsletter #0901
by Dag Wieers 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi, I am pleased to announce the first edition of the bi-weekly CentOS newsletter which we dubbed "CentOS Pulse". This first issue centers around improving communication within the CentOS community and how that relates to the CentOS Promo SIG. We also look at the recent announcements regarding the CentOS LiveCD and the CentOS Directory Server. And dive into interesting community threads and the latest CentOS security updates. You can read the newsletter at: http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/0901 If you want to get an update everytime we release a new newsletter issue, you can subscribe to the newly created and low-traffic centos-newsletter mailing list at: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-newsletter The project team considers the CentOS Newsletter an important tool to communicate directly with the community. It is run by the community to collect interesting bits from the wiki, mailinglist, forums, SIGs and other sources, and put them into the spotlight. More information about the newsletter and how you can contribute is available from: http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter Happy reading ! -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Got shirt?
by Andreas Rogge 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi Everybody, as we discussed on last FOSDEM (and probably on any other event), we always wanted to have CentOS T-Shirts as giveaways. Nobody really seemed to pick it up, so eventually Sarah made it happen. So we proudly present: The CentOS T-Shirt! We have quite a few of them - we'll bring them to FrOSCon and we could even try to arrange to have some at LinuxTag, too.

FrOSCon 2009 - Cleaning up the mess
by Andreas Rogge 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi Everybody, I apologize for having messed this up. I absolutely missed the Call for Papers. I would have also missed the Call for Projects, if Ralph didn't say a word. I could argue that the timeframes are too short and complain about everything, but after all it is my fault. And thus, I'll try to clean that mess up. The FrOSCon deadline for the project registration is 30.05.2009. My personal deadline for that is 27.05.2009 24:00 CEST. So if we want to decide any fundamental stuff, we need to do it quickly. Has anyone of you (besides Didi) had a chance to submit a Paper in time? Does anyone want to give a talk/lecture/workshop/whatever? If we can fill half a day I can try to get a devroom where we can do it. I can offer my talk about diskless CentOS with iSCSI and a workshop/demonstration afterwards (about 1 hour). As I'll need a rough estimate of the number of people, I'd really appreciate if everyone who is willing to help out could tell me as soon as possible. One or two people more or less aren't a big deal, but last year we had one desk and two chairs for about six people... I'll also ask on the centos-de Mailinglist if there are more people who want to help out. With the information I currently have I would order two desks, five chairs and a movable wall for posters. We can also have a bar table which we could probably place somewhere in front of our booth. Maybe this is a good idea, what do you think? A few dumb questions from a first-time project registree to the more expierienced people: Is there an official project description for CentOS? Is the PressKit[1] from the Wiki up-to-date/ok to use? What logo should I use for the registration? Of course, I can just use the standard-logo[2], but that somehow doesn't "feel" right.

Hey I will be going to HAR2009 ``On August 13-16, 2009 the 20th anniversary edition of the four-yearly Dutch outdoor technology-conference will take place near Vierhouten, NL.'' Maybe CentOS will want a tent or some representation. Shall I add a wiki-page? Cheers Didi ---- My www page: www.ribalba.de Email / Jabber: ribalba(a)gmail.com Skype : ribalba

Important: CentOS Newsletter coming to town
by Dag Wieers 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi all, The CentOS Newsletter is a new initiative taken to promote CentOS, but also to improve the communication inside of the community itself. http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter Currently we envision a Newsletter that highlights some of the things that are going on inside of the different community's channels. But we probably could do much more, all of this depends on contributions and ideas of those people that are already involved. So what I am looking for are people that - think about what subject, thread or article could be useful for the Newsletter (as much as possible) - write new content that can be featured in the Newsletter - are willing to (co)maintain a section in the Newsletter on a bi-weekly basis We haven't decided what sections will go into the Newsletter yet, but here is a list of the things that are possible. If you have other ideas, please share them with the centos-promo mailinglist (or send them to me personally). We are looking for a few recurring sections for the Newsletter: * Foreword * Featured Article(s) * Wonderful Wiki Whatever (new documentation in the wiki) * Community Threads (interesting threads on mailinglist, forums and blogs) * CentOS Fixes (an overview of the recent errata) * Development Discussions (what happens on centos-devel) * CentOS in the News (who's covering CentOS) * ... Of course, if we don't have any content for a section at some point, we will leave that section out. So who is interested to help out with the first and second issue ? And who is interested to maintain/edit one of these sections ? I am looking for people in the different communities (mailinglist, forums and blogs) that keep up with things and offer items to be featured. I am also interested in reports about new developments within the community from the different SIGs, from the developers and project members to highlight areas where is being worked on and what progress we are making. If you are interested, you know where to find me :) -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Cheers. [English version is below german version] Es ist mal wieder soweit, für den diesjährigen Linuxtag läuft der Call for Projects. CentOS wird sich erneut für einen Stand auf dem Linuxtag bewerben, wer dabei sein möchte, sollte bitte die (englischsprachige) Mailingliste centos-promo(a)centos.org <http://lists.centos.org/centos-promo/> abonnieren und dort an der Diskussion teilnehmen. It is this time of year again: CentOS is going to Linuxtag 2009 (well, at least we will try to get a booth there). If you want to be part of the team there, stay tuned for news here in centos-promo(a)centos.org. Deadline for the projects is 24th of march (short call!), I will try to apply sooner than that >:) Cheers and thanks, Ralph
