Hello,
I am Toshaan Bharvani, I already volunteered to help at FOSDEM 2009. I am "new" to CentOS, about 1.5 years, before that Fedora for about 3 years, one year between distro's so about 5 years of experience with Linux. I see there are some slots available for FOSDEM 2009. Some possible presentations I could give : (a) CentOS USB Install: howto => busy with an automated script (b) CentOS on desktops/mini ITX/netbooks => in line with Dag's : CentOS on the desktop (tips and tricks to survive) (c) RPM packaging for CentOS => I am trying to help with rpmforge, nevertheless have just started I have started my own blog (www.toshaan.be) where I will be adding some, hopefully relevant, information about Linux and CentOS.
Regards, Toshaan.
Ok, cool. Is your 'draft' already available somewhere ?

Dear Tosh,

'Possibility to get paid support from upstream or elsewhere'
If you mean Red Hat with 'upstream' this is not true as they do not (yet) offer support contracts for CentOS environments.

What I mean is actually a little more complicated : (1) If you convert from CentOS to RHEL (as it is the same base), you can get paid support, also mixed environments would be easy to support as there is a lot of common knowledge (2) There are local consultants, whom would be willing to "support" CentOS based environments So I would rephrase as follows : 'Possibility to get paid support from upstream (conversion RHEL) or elsewhere' If this is to risky/not clear enough, I would just leave it at : 'Possibility to get paid support'
