This way the general public (small businesses, non-profit > organisations, schools, ....) are exposed to CentOS. Again: Are there people who want to do that? I asked a few weeks ago about a computer fair in eastern germany and there weren't that many answers (well, to be exact there wasn't any). If there are people willing to "man" those local groups, I don't see any problem CentOS should or will have with that. Do you have a proposal how local groups like that could be worked out? How large/small areas those groups should cover? What needs to be done from the CentOS team to support those groups? Which infrastructure is needed?
