  3. CentOS Pulse Newsletter, March 2019 (#1903)

Dear CentOS enthusiast,

Another month into 2019, and we have a lot to tell you about.

CentOS is 15!

As you may have seen either at recent events, or on social media, we're getting ready to celebrate our 15th birthday! As part of that, Rich has been interviewing various people who were around in those early years, to get some of the back-story on how it all happened. You'll start seeing these interviews on the blog in the month of March.

This week, we have published an interview with Greg Kurtzer, who founded the project in the first place.

Later, we'll be publishing interviews with Karsten Wade, Manuel "wolfy" Wolfshant, and Mike McLean, with others to come.

If you would like to talk about your involvement in CentOS, please get in touch with Rich at rbowen@centosproject.org  You don't need to be one of the founders - just to have something interesting to say about your involvement, past, present, and future.

SIG Updates

SIGs - Special Interest Groups - are where people work on the stuff that runs on top of CentOS. We have recently started having SIGs report quarterly, so we have just a few of them each month, getting through the entire list every 3 months.

NFV SIG

There was presentation on NFV SIG at the CentOS dojo.

We hope to get fd.io vpp 19.01 release RPMs in mirrors before the end of February. Stay tuned.

More information on the NFV SIG, including how to get involved, may be found on their wiki page.

Events

FOSDEM was, of course, in February, but we reported on that in last months' newsletter.

This month, we'll be sponsoring FOSSAsia in Singapore! We'll have a CentOS table there, and we'll have participation from numerous of our favorite projects, including Ansible, ManageIQ, Fedora, and Dogtag.

We are ramping up towards the CentOS Dojo at ORNL, which is now just a month and a half away. We have published our speaker list, and the full schedule of talks should be up very soon. Register today to attend! (Registration is free, but due to the nature of the facility, you must register in advance to gain access through security.)

If you would like to host a Dojo, or have a suggestion for where we should have one, please get in touch with the CentOS Promo mailing list.

Other upcoming events are always listed on the events wiki page.
