Hey I want to start the next Newsletter early so it can be a little more relaxed. The next release will be the 1. April. I really need someone to *interview*, just drop me a mail and I will send you a few questions. This can be anyone from the community that has some sort of CentOS install. And then I want to introduce a new section called DeskShot where users can show off their workplaces.

Hey The last "Newsletter survey" found that many people are interested in how CentOS is used and what people do with it, I would like to invite anyone who has some spare time or has something to share to write a little article about how they are using CentOS. I suppose interesting stuff would be how many machines, how you manage them, what programs you use, stuff that has happened and

Hey I am just organizing the CentOS village at HAR and need a rough estimate of people who will be attending. What do people want? Shall the CentOS people have their own party tent?

Hey We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right? What do you want to read about? What sections do you want?

Hello I was just asked what the logo means and I had to admit that I really had no idea, as it was chosen way before my time. Can someone please enlighten me about the logo.

There will be a

Hey So the Newsletter is finally pretty much finished. Could everybody please just read through it again and make some adjustments. Further how are the translations getting on? Unfortunately I either speak Chinese or Spanish so could I get a heads up on status? Further I am looking into a Newsletter meeting hopefully using VOIP, everybody ok with that? Next message will be the release :)

Hey Looking at the Fedora ML there is some commotion about a Press Kit [1] they are constructing. I am thinking about doing something like this for CentOS. Now comes my question, what do people think should belong in such a kit. Do you think this is needed? Cheers for your help, Didi [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_press_kit -- Hoffmann Geerd-Dietger http://contact.ribalba.de

The guys [3] at LinuxTag want to share some of the stuff they have been doing today. After setting up the booth [1] we started the usual socializing by doing this, we met Brian Schueler again who created a PowerPC 32 version of CentOS and even a ARMv5. This is quite impressive and we all gathered around to see a little demonstration. Further we talked to the usual suspects from Fedora and Red Hat

Hi there, I just wanted to point out that Asterisk will be present at CeBit this year. We gathered some money from sponsors and were able to afford a booth together with a training-company. We'd be happy to find others joining us at the booth somewhere between 10th and 16th of March in Hannover, Germany :-) Kind regards ... -- Thilo R??ler Linup Front Pallaswiesenstrasse 203 64293

For all who are interested: A quick review of CeBIT 2005. :-) CeBIT was a very successfull event. Most of the time, the asterisk-booth was crowded with more people than we could talk to. We had with us a demo-installation including different IP-phones, digital and analog phones as well as a Siemens HiPATH PBX to which our Asterisk-server served as a VoIP-gateway, and many people were impressed

Hey I would be happy to maintain such a thing but I would need someone as a backup.

Dropbox has an RPM for Fedora Core 9 (x86). I am running CentOS 5.4 on my Desktop, which I believe is based on Fedora Core 6. Are the libraries Fedora Core 9 uses substantially different than those CentOS 5.4 uses? If Dropbox had an SRPM available, I would Download that and Rebuild, but I'm sure it is Proprietary and they won't release an SRPM to me. TIA! Lanny
