When we initially launched seven.centos.org, the idea was just to have a single blog instance that CentOS Dev and QA team members could use to give feedback and also report status update about the rebuild and testing of CentOS 7 : that was an easy entry point for people wanting to know how far we […]
Last week I, and one of my colleagues, had the opportunity to attend SuperComputing Asia in Singapore.

In an earlier article on CentOS Linux 7 (1708), I explained the the basic release process and about things like the Continuous Release (CR) repository. I am not going to go into detail about those two topics here, just update you on the process. The packages that make up what will be our CentOS Linux […]
