-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello there, I've been using CentOS for quite a while but I haven't gotten involved with the overall community quite yet. I'm using this email as a step towards changing that. ;) Karanbir mentioned that the Hosting SIG[1] needed an owner and I'd like to take on that challenge I've worked with web/application hosting since 2002 from basic LAMP stacks to large-scale, highly orchestrated OpenStack-based virtualization environments. There are some nuances to the world of hosting that demands quite a few changes from a standard CentOS minimal installation. Some of my goals for the SIG would be: 1) How do we make it easier for system administrators to host applications using various development languages and server platforms? 2) How can we make configuration automation frameworks more effective and easier to use on CentOS in hosting environments? (Think ansible, puppet, chef, etc) 3) I'd like to see if we could make a boot-from-PXE squashfs live OS (similar to Debian's live system) a supported solution for very large server environments. These are just some of my initial thoughts on the topic. I welcome your feedback!
