Dear CentOS enthusiasts,
The past month has been quieter than recent months, in terms of news, and I was very occupied with some other things last week, so I hope you can forgive the delay in getting this month's newsletter out.
If you want to receive notifications of new newsletters in future months, please subscribe to the centos-newsletter mailing list to be the first to hear of new editions.
News:

You can now purchase embroidered CentOS tshirts, polo shirts, and sweatshirts, in the store at HelloTux. HelloTux also produces garments featuring our friends Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, and various other Linux and open source projects and brands.
